I started brewing a few months ago .Im already addicted and finally got to making some nice beers both by borrowing recipe and making my own with some fundamentals in mind with the help of the awesome recipe calculator.
One thing i love is thinking about different ways i could make the recipes so Im trying to get a better feel for it. I am aware that its going to take a while before i have the different grains, hops and yeast strains in my head but im wondering if there resources for the fundamentals in recipe creation other than just matching a style as you can?
Maybe something like
-how different water-profiles affect your different types of beers
-If there are any certain malts or hops that usually mix and perhaps some that will give bad flavors
-How you can approximate the fermentation times in advance
But these are just examples of the top of my head.
Any resources are greatly appreciated.
