Grain is cheaper than extract. But I use mostly AG batches because it's fun. It reaches back in time, like camping or wood carving. Extract is a good way to start, and a much quicker process. Do what you like, progress at your own pace.
Nope. I can do an all grain batch in about the same time as an extract batch. BIAB makes it as fast as an extract batch and the cost is about half of what extract batches cost.
Whats 'about the same time'? Im curious. I made a spiced honey ale on the weekend that didnt require steeping grains. I cant see adding a mash, weighing out grains, and crushing them not adding that much time to your brew session. Even if you have to steep grains, your still saving 30-60mins right off the bat depending on your mash time.
You should search this forum. RM-MN has done a lot of experiments on quick mashes, others have joined. It may well be the next big step in simplifying homebrewing. You could search RM-MN's posts, and there is a thread titled "Ten minute mash.."
will do thanks man
