    Per the title of your thread, there are no wrong recipes. But there are bad ones, depending on the palates judging. What amounts of those ingredients are you planning to use and what are your goals?

    I just buy shipping labels and use the template for printing them out and I create my own. Its more fun that way.

    No, there really isn't a wrong homebrew recipe, as long as you have all the components necessary (malt, hops, yeast and water) which it sounds like you do. If you're missing one of those, then yea, it's wrong. You've got all the ingredients needed to make a junkyard ale! Who knows, it may taste really good, it may not.. but in the end, you will have beer from what you are describing above.

    As for labels, I personally think it's a waste of time. If I'm giving 6-packs of it out to friends/family, then yea I can see it being pretty fun to do, but I've never spent the time doing it.

    I have seen some pretty horrid ones from way back when. There are better sources for recipes today, so things don't start with no framework.
