Hey everyone, so I kind of hit a fork in the road when it comes to my home brewing knowledge and I really have no idea what and where I should go next. So I have been brewing for about 6 months, where I have made 7 beers, 6 of them have been all-grain BIAB, and now and I feel like I have finally gotten down all the basics of the brewing process(of course my efficiency is not perfect, but I normally come within .03 of my target initial gravity and .02 of my final gravity). I feel pretty confident when it comes to understanding all the basic elements when it comes to the brewing process. This includes sustaining mash temp, understanding my setup/knowing its boil-off ratio and grain absorption, chilling the wort properly, SANITATION of course, temp control, and even the bottling process. But now I just feel stuck, not knowing what I should do next. I would love to know how to make my own recipe because I have only brewed clones to this point. I am not saying that brewing a clone is boring, but I just want to start making the beers I brew my own. There are so many books, forums, websites, and youtube videos out there that I dont know what to choose. What do you guys think I should next? What area should I focus on, hops, grains, water chemistry? So please, if anybody has some advice I would love to hear it.
