    Anyone recommend an awesome book with home-brew recipes or should I save a tree an ask for a website?

    I frequently use 'Clone Brews' because it allows me to find many of the real beers in a store for a taste comparison after my batch is ready.

    Designing great beers is a great book that will help you be able to formulate your own recipes.

    Only provides one/two recipes per sytle though.
    As described, just clones of commercial brews.
    Great resource for creating your own.

    Another good website I'd throw out there is http://www.brewtoad.com

    Lastly, visit your local homebrew shop and ask. Mine keeps a huge 3" binder on homebrew recipes.

    I don't think it is an either/or (book/website) situation. I think a book like brewing classic styles provides you with a good background in recipe creation. While it won't be the last word on the subject, it helps you get a sense for it, and that in turn helps you sort out what recipes you find on line are likely to be good and which ones are likely to turn out to be less impressive.

    Mike's blog is a great resource for recipes, both sour and clean. Every one I've made has turned out really great!
