 Even if you're an exception, maybe you should go ahead and tow the line for a little bit and learn how to do it first. I would recommend starting with an extract. Start with an extract, get a feel for the process, and then work your way to the next step, to the next step, to the next step. After about three or four times, then you feel enough confidence doing that, then you start playing with your own ingredients and then come up with what you like and what you don't like.
