Hello,
I'm fairly new to the homebrewing (got about 7 batches under my belt) and my question relates to determining style. I've been following clone recipes so far and all have come out awesome. I would like to start creating my own beers and am not sure what determines a style. For example if I wanted to make a pilsner, what ingredients determine it being a pilsner? Is it the grains used? The type of hops? Same goes for everything else. I've brewed a stout but don't know what made it one. I would appreciate someone shedding some light on this subject. Thanks.
