Brewing a Batch: Condensed Version

Tonight I brewed my latest batch, which should turn into a malty porter. Here are the steps I took, with rather less blather than the previous edition.

-1) Activate the yeast pack the preceding day
0) Relax and have a homebrew *
1) Soak the grains in hot water in a pot
2) Dissolve the malt in hot water in the boiling pot
3) Wash the grains in a strainer over the boiling pot
4) Set the wort to boil
5) Sanitize the fermenting bucket, airlock, lid, thermometer, strainer, paddle, and brush
6) Add the hops at the beginning of the boil and near the end
7) Cool the wort in the sink
8) Pour the wort through the strainer into the bucket
9) Stir the wort while filling the bucket with more water
10) Pitch the yeast and stir again
11) Seal the bucket with the lid and insert the airlock
12) Place the bucket in an appropriate spot

* I skipped this step because I had other things going on. I hope I didn't affect the beer.
