I was re-organizing my brew book (a binder full of recipes), and I found a bunch of stuff from when I started brewing. These are some recipes I tried the first time around, 2001-2008:
2001:
2/01 - IPA (kit)
7/10/01 - Wood's Edge Berry Wheat (ended up like a framboise, but w/o the belgian funk)
9/9/01 - Whirlwind clone
9/16/01 - Blueberry Ale
9/23/01 - IPA
9/30/01 - Granny Smith Cider
2002:
2/23/02 - IPA (AG)
2003:
10/5/03 - Phil & Brian's Cider
10/5/03 - Boo Berry Ale
10/17/03 - IPA (AG)
2007:
4/29/07 - Weirdo Witbier (had choc & crystal malts in it)
4/29/07 - VT Maple Cider
2008:
4/20/08 - VT Maple Cider
4/23/08 - Whirlwind clone
8/18/08 - Pumpkin Brown
I really didn't have that great of a handle on what I was doing back then. I also complicated things by jumping into all grain too soon. A lot of these batches ended in frustration, and so it was hard to keep moving forward. I worked/volunteered part time at a homebrew shop, my pay was ingredients, pretty good trade off. Another thing that I see now is that my setup had a lot of problems, and I didn't have that many resources available as I do today. But I'm glad I started then and kept my gear. Now the timing is right for me to start up again, and I'm enjoying it.
