Yeah, I was sort of thinking the same thing after my excitement wore off.

I think the stark reality will rear it's beautiful head when you taste the end result.  :)

It always amazes me to see brewers making beer without the proper amount of healthy yeast.  It's a no brainer IMO.

I just had to get there first. It has helped in learning what I have done and what can be done in the future by adding a few new things each time. This step however has been the biggest step up to this point. Water composition and treating it will be the next step.

Okay, but you're selling yourself short.  I collect yeast and repitch from the jar, works very well.  I don't think lag time necessarily determines the quality of the beer either.

I would qualify that as its amazing to see experienced brewers making beer without the proper amount of healthy yeast.

It's a learning curve, and it doesn't amaze me at all to see people starting out pitching a smack pack.  I did it.  You did it.  Admit it.  You know you did.
