Why did I wait this long?

For me it is the additional time on brew day to can the wort that made me wait so long. Once I have it though, it's exactly like you describe.

Yeah, I have to make a couple gallons to can too. It's sooooooooooooo much easier to get a starter going. But like already said, it's more work upfront.

Just finished canning about 6 gallons of starter wort, 24 quarts, 11 pints. :shock:It is a time consuming process on the front end (I actually did an entire mash just for starters), but it's not as intense as actually brewing a batch. During the starter mash and canning process I can do other things. When brewing a normal batch I'm usually concentrated on cleaning, sanitizing, remembering what I'm supposed to add, watching the time, etc. Canning the starters really pays off on the back end IMO. During the week between work and the kid and the house and whatever else, by the time I get a minute to myself it takes a whole lot of motivation to get me to do much of anything. Having the starters canned definitely increases the likelihood that I'll make a starter (and in turn brew a batch).
