I've got a tiny kitchen and no yard. This is a problem because I've always been an all-grain brewer. Now I'm limited to all-grain brewing whenever I can use my friend's set up. So, in order to allow myself to brew more often, I'm thinking about splitting my time between extract and all-grain.
My question here is this: Are there any styles that lend themselves particularly well to extract brewing?
For example, I would imagine that a Maibock with its malt focus and decoction mash would be much better done all grain, whereas something like an IPA with a high ABV and hops focus could taste just as good using extract as any all grain recipe (keep in mind though I'm not much of an IPA drinker).
Thoughts?
