Howdy, and welcome to the forums. Homebrewing is so awesome that it rapidly turns from a hobby into an obsession.

any suggestions on what i should try making first as an easy recipe for a beginner?

For your first batch, get a clone kit of a brew that you've had and enjoyed before. That way you have an idea of what the finished product should taste like.

well i found the one im going to do once i get my equipment, by any chance is there a clone for the cherry wheat by sam adams?

Welcome!

i would go with something simpler for your first brew...no fruit beers for sure.

if you like wheats, why not try the simplest, easiest, quickest recipe out there?

6 lbs Wheat Dry Malt Extract (or 7 lbs Wheat Liquid Malt Extract)
1 oz of hallertau (or tettnanger, or saaz) - boil for 60 minutes
Yeast: WLP300 or other wheat yeast

ferment at 70 F or lower if you can. ferment for at least 2 weeks, then bottle or keg. if bottling, open after another two weeks...fastest brew out there!

it's a fantastic brew...you won't regret it.
