Making my first recipe...

[balzern]

Hey everyone,

I am still kind of new to the homebrew world but I am learning quickly. I have been brewing extracts for the last couple months and have come up with three pretty good brews. I want to start experimenting with creating my own recipe but don't know where to start. I have the Joy of Homebrewing and I am currently reading it. I was wondering if anyone had any resources I could look at or advice they could give me in regards to crafting my first recipe. I have searched the forum database and haven't found much that have helped me, any advice would be great.

Thanks,

N

Designing Great Beers by Ray Daniels. Explains ingredients and styles in a very clear manner. Very well written and presented.

Sorry to necro this thread, but is this still the best go to guide for learning how to create your own recipes?

I'm in a similar situation the OP was in. Made a few extract kits and clone recipes. Looking to broaden my understanding of what ingredients impart what flavors and so forth and wanna make my own recipe.

DGB is a great book. I would get BLAM(brew like a monk) if you like Belgians or want to get into them. Clone Bews is great as well for various recipe ideas.
