Building your own recipes is a fun way to expand your brewing horizons, and identify your favorite flavors. However, if you want to clone a commercial brew or make a certain style you can stick to a pre-formulated recipe. The Home Brew Shop has many recipes to reproduce your favorite styles. In addition, many brewers have been kind enough to share their own recipes!
