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!
It would be lovely to get some nice glass carboys, but they’re expensive here (Scotland), and the plastic bucket fermenters are just so easy to clean, it’s hard to see past them. There’s also the bonus that a 5 gallon bucket fits perfectly in the fridge I use for fermenting!
I’ve switched to aluminum conical fermenters. Much easier to clean and lighter than glass. They’re pricey though.
Yeah, I spend enough money on my other hobbies, this is supposed to be the cheap one!
