This is the thread I've been looking for, the point I've tried to make a few times over the last few years. I don't come here often, because I'm a casual brewer, but I've said it before. "Making good beer is easy, making great beer isn't hard." Learn from these people, but don't feel pressured. I've been partial mash brewing for 6 years, and that's as far as I want to go, and as far as I'm concerned, I make great beer. As long as you like your beer, that's all you have to do.
 
I am guilty as charged with the lazy extract brewing..... and still think the beer is eons better than anything corporate...

Beer? Lazy? I'll drink to that.

I agree most people take all the fun out of it by getting overwrought. I like to go another step in devilmaycareness: Just throw stuff in instead of using a recipe. I like to make beer like I make chili. Put a bunch of ingredients out on the counter and, with some notion of what I want to end up with, just put in what feels right without measuring how much Amarillo or Northern Brewer or Irish moss I use, just like I wouldn't measure chili powder or oregano or onions.:mug:
