Double post:
azeth, It's (for me) not as much about 'unique brew' so much as it's about saying "I made this in my kitchen and its fucking good."
If you really wanna try cooking up a batch, I'd first identify a style you enjoy, and think you'd be happy drinking 5 gallons of, and then I'd suggest getting a kit for your first attempt. It makes the process easier to get a feel for, everything is laid out and pre-measured. They are largely uninspired (kits are usually a generic 'amber ale, ESB, stout, etc.), but have quality ingredients, and taste good. If it comes out good, then talk to your local brew shop and tell him 'I want to make a _____, what do you suggest I use to get this?" Internet research is pretty cool too. There's alot of homebrew forums out there with guys sharing recipes for clone brews and made up ones too.
Still PM me.
