   As an all-grain brewer myself, I see nothing wrong with extract brewing. Like you mentioned, it can dramatically cut down the time it takes to brew a small batch and it makes things much more predictable.

   Probably the largest benefit I’ve seen is the relief from messing with the mash process and trying to control that temp. Then there is sparging (unless you’re a BIAB brewer). Again, just more to worry about.

   That said, I still tend to do extract batches from time to time when I know I want to make something quick, yet still have that homebrew feel to it.
