 Crush the grains.
 Mash the grains to convert starches to sugars.
 Drain to collect the wort.
 Sparge the grains to rinse as much of the sugars off the grains as possible.
 Boil the wort; add hops at specified intervals.
 Chill the wort.
 Pitch the yeast.
 Ferment.
 Keg or bottle.
 Carbonate.
 Drink beer.
 
 Brew day is about 6 hours.  From Brew Day to Drinking day varies.  Could be anywhere between 4 weeks and 6 months (or more).  Ales are drinkable earlier than lagers, generally speaking.
 |  What happened to roasting the grains????
