I finally got around to brewing beer and am loving it. For my first batch I went with Arrogant Bastard. The beer is being moved to secondary on Friday and I can't wait to try it.
My question is, how did you guys learn how to make up your own beer ? How many recipes should I follow until I try my own ?
My issue here is that I just moved to Austin Texas from Michigan 10 months ago. For some damn reason Texas cannot sell Michigan beers. I have been told that the reason has something to do with how Michigan beers are labeled. Sooo....I miss a lot of the beers up there. I want to do Bells Two Hearted Ale next and then see if I can find some recipes for any of the Founders Brewery beers.
I feel like I am cheating by copying other recipes. I kind of figure I will make the Bastard, then do Two Hearted then try to find some of the Founders recipes and THEN do my own. I am just wondering how people learned to do their own.
Thanks for the input.
