Congrats on your beer turning out good and on the realization that DWHAHB is the way to go. I'm fully on board with RDWHAHB at this point because I came to the realization that beer is extremely resilient and it's really hard to end up with something undrinkable. The first lesson any new homebrewer needs to learn is that it doesn't matter what you screwed up, you will most likely end up with beer, and it will probably be good. People are always so quick to panic and wonder if they should dump the whole thing when all they need to do is relax and let the yeast do its job.
