Trying my first non-kit brew

[jasonbwell]

Hi guys,

I've done 2 prepackaged kits thus far, and altho I have enjoyed them quite a bit, I think that I will be happier with creating my own. I'm leaning either to a weizen with fruit puree or a fruity ale of some sort. And as we get closer to october, I will be attempting a pumpkin spice or a ginger beer. Anyway, as far as the fruity Wiezen or Ale (depending on which way i go) does anybody have any comments or advice for selecting and creating my very first recipe?

I would second finding an established recipe here. You'll be given a little more freedom with choosing ingredients and styles, and you'll see how certain ingredients work, but you'll know you are using a tried and true recipe.
