Mosher's heather ale recipe calls for 1.5kg of amber malt, i've heard that 500g will be overkill! Any clarification on this matter would be appreciated, i nearly went and brewed this today!
Cheers
How much amber!

Re: How much amber!
I read somewhere, in an esb, upto 20% crystals type malts.. I brewed a beer, but not an esb which that had just about 20% crystal type, including Amber malt. It was to much crystal type.
But having said this I don't know moshers recipes.
Hopfully someone else who has done the recipe will pop by and tell you what they thought of it.

Re: How much amber!
I've used 30% of Crisps Amber malt in an ale before. It was great.
Thomas Fawcett Amber is darker and stronger flavoured - I'd be very careful with it.
