own recipes
Have any of you folks set out to make their own recipe, and were successful?
As in you reached the flavor you went after?
Not on the first try, but got there, and, do you share it with others? Not asking you to, asking
if you do.
I have to admit, I find trying to put a recipe together is pretty challenging.
Considering I'm so new to homebrewing.
Putting together my own recipes is nothing new, putting together my own recipes for brew is.
That's just me though, hog wild or no hog at all.

I've got an Amarillo IPA I developed that uses all late-addition hops. I've shared with quite a few homebrewers and all have liked it, it's one of the most popular beers I put on tap, uses a ton of hops though.
I can't say that I've ever come up with a recipe from nothing, but I have tweaked a few recipes to my own preferences. I've decided to be ambitious and develop my own super-malt amber ale.
Marv you should pick up "Designing Great Beers" it's a good book to build a beer recipe from scratch, pick your style and go from there. Geared more towards all-grain, because mash temps do make an impact, but still worthwhile for extracters.
thanks for the tip,I'll look into that.

Design Great Beers is a good read. I used it to develop my first recipe a couple of months back, which was a California Common (steam beer, but steam beer is trade marked by Anchor). I got quite a few compliments on it from everybody I served it too, and I thought it was one of my better brews.
I certainly wouldn't have a problem sharing it or any other recipe I develop (I have a couple that I haven't brewed yet) with anybody who wanted them. I have used so many other people's recipes, I figure I could share whatever I have that someone else may want.

It seems a lot of people are having success with late hopping. I talked my friend into late hopping an extract IPA to see how it would turn out and it is one of the best Extract beers I've ever had. I plan on giving it a go soon.
I posted my recipe in rhe recipe section.
I reformulated my Bluewave recipe. The original was pale, munich, and wheat, along with half and half raspberry and blueberry. It was a hit.
I switched it to pale, crystal 40L, and I believe munich (I'm going off the top of my head), and switched several of the hops around, then I made it exclusively with blueberries.
Got much better reviews. For those wondering about the name, no I didn't pick it because it uses blueberries, it's the name of an old DOS based offline mail reader. I liked it.
