Going back to extract brewing... (self.homebrewing)

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!

Ha! I can imagine it's a common experience.

Thanks for the tips, and a good shout about the hops, I'll bear it in mind. Amber ales tend to be my go to session beer, so we could definitely cope with making a few of those!

I'm genuinely not sure if the couple of hours saved will make it realistic, but it was the only way of significantly cutting the time down we could think of.

Good luck yourself. I'm really in my fatherhood journey, but enjoying it so far!

It's definitely a ride but a welcome and satisfying one for sure. Cheers!
