Plus, i devise a several recipies and then go shopping, not the other way around, thus not ending up with any unused ingredients.
I end up doing both. I have my 'house brews' which just consume a similar amount of similar stuff (I vary it a little and buy stuff - mainly hops - on spec to just try) and then there are brews that I design/steal a recipe for and then go buy stuff for.
Generally speaking, both end up equally drinkable (or not). I think the question is interesting though - it probably warrants another topic!
