Homebrewer Charlie Sutton highlights the joy of making beer with extract and his ability to make great beer without going all-grain. He found himself in a predicament we all might find familiar: we don’t have enough time to homebrew as much as we’d like. Sutton says, “Brewing with extract gives me the opportunity to dive into brewing and get my passion into full gear. As a father of three with limited spare time in my life for brewing, I use timesaving malt extract to get my brew days in at night. I put the kids to bed, my wife goes to sleep, and I get to brewing.”
