First time posting here, but looking for pointers to good extract beer recipes. My friend and I have been all-grain brewing for a couple of years, but I recently became a father for the first time, which cuts down my spare time significantly! I’m finding that I just don’t have the time for all-grain brewing any more, so I was wondering if folks had good recommendations for extract based recipes, which might work better in my new time-poor lifestyle? :)

My friend and I have been pretty varied in our previous brews, from spiced stouts to wheat beers to mild ales, so if it’s good, we’ll probably like it!

Thanks in advance!

    I totally get that an AI1 system would be faster and easier, but for me it just defeats the fun of the hobby! I like the random variation because my temperatures are a bit off, or I forgot to add the hops at the right time. Don’t get me wrong, I’m always trying to get it ‘right’ but I like the manual bits. I also do a lot of woodwork by hand for the same reasons, so I think it’s very much a personal preference thing.
