I think that homebrewing has taught me more patience than anything else in my life. Trust - you will drink your early beer(s) too green; it will be ok, but no where nearly as good as what you will make later. It will take a little time to develop the patience to age properly and eventually multi-brew to support such patience.
I (most of us) brew and get to open/tap a brew from 6-8 weeks ago. That helps. Yes, I am excited about the current brew, but I am even more excited about the beer that I almost forgot about, but is now ready at the end of a brew-day. So - I turn impatience/excitement into immediate reward.
