IMO homebrewing is in many ways quite similar to maintaining you home's landscape - some people are obsessed with the minutest of details, spend big $ for the latest hi-tech machinery, and find enjoyment in the process of improving their process ... while others are equally happy to drag a mower across the yard once every month or so, and still others are happy to let it go for years without the slightest care.
the great news with homebrewing is that there are no HOAs to impose their overreaching control upon us, so we can all brew to the level of detail that gives us enjoyment - be that an unboiled Mr Beer kit in the kitchen, the most stringent of detailed nuances derived by scientific methodology, or somewhere in between.
