I just started into the hobby 3 months ago and have been extract brewing so far. At the start, I had hoped that home brewing would make good beer, but dang - it is far better than production and commercial craft beers.
The topic is covered in many books and posts. I want to compare how long it takes for your beers to get to that "I want another one of those" stage.
The time-to-great-taste is 7 weeks for me for the first 4 batches. Sooner than that and they have had green beer off-flavors. After that - holy crap !! really, really good. I ended up with a 1-1-5 schedule for the first 3 brews, and a 2-1-4 on the 4th one.
7 weeks until my bottled beers are "ready". Can you compare?
