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!

    The joy of homebrewing has a section I think called “betterbrew” that is extract recipes plus specialty grains. That’s how I started except through the Austin homebrew mini-mash recipes. You basically steep some blend of grains like crystal and carawheat in a strainer bag for awhile and then add the base malt extract after you have removed them.

    I’m not sure my beer has gotten any better since going to all grain but there are more opportunities to make mistakes. So I also think about going back.

    You can view the whole recipes on the ahb website by finding the click here for instructions link, like this one:
