My first brew not using a pre-pack kit. This brew uses a partial mash and both liquid and dry malt extracts. I have also listed each step so that it is easy to follow along if you're still relatively new to the brew game. Hops interchangeable, somewhat following English IPA brew guidelines.

Special Instructions
1.***** NOTE: Ideal partial mashing should involve 1-2 litres (quarts) water per 450g (lb) of malts. 1.25kg of malt = 4 litres for partial mash. *****
2.Collect and heat 4 litres of water to 70°C
3.Pour crushed grains into mesh bag and tie the open end in a knot. Partial mash for 45 minutes at 65-70°C.
4.Remove grain bag from water and place into strainer. Slowly pour 4 litres of 65-70°C sparge water, one litre at a time, over the grain bag rinsing into the boil kettle. Then discard the grain bag.
5.Top off 4 litres of water to wort to make 12 litres in total and heat.
6.Bring to a boil. Remove the kettle from the burner/turn flame off and stir in the liquid malt extract.
7.Once liquid malt extract has been stirred in add in the dry malt extract.
8.Return wort to boil. Add 30g Cascade hops for 60 mins.
9.Add 25g Fuggles at 30 mins.
10.Add 20g Cascade at 15 mins.
11.Add 25g Fuggles at flame out.
12.Cool the wort. When the 60-minute boil is finished, cool the wort to approximately 100° F/35° c as rapidly as possible. Use a wort chiller, or put the kettle in an ice bath in your sink.
13.Sanitize fermenting equipment and yeast pack. While the wort cools, sanitize the fermenting equipment – fermenter, lid or stopper, fermentation lock, funnel, etc – along with the yeast pack and a pair of scissors.
14.Fill primary fermenter with 7.5 litres of cold water, then pour in the cooled wort. Leave any thick sludge in the bottom of the kettle.
15.Add more cold water as needed to bring the volume to 19 litres.
16.Aerate the wort. Seal the fermenter and rock back and forth to splash for a few minutes, or use an aeration system and diffusion stone.
17.Add yeast once the temperature of the wort is not warm to the touch. Use the sanitized scissors to cut off a corner of the yeast pack, and carefully pour the yeast into the primary fermenter.
18.Seal the fermenter. Add approximately 1 tablespoon of water to the sanitized fermentation lock. Insert the lock into rubber stopper or lid, and seal the fermenter.
19.Move the fermenter to a warm, dark, quiet spot until fermentation begins.
20.Allow 3 weeks for fermentation.
21.Carbonate by either boiling 135g/4.8 oz of corn sugar - or - 4.5 oz/128g table sugar in 568ml/1 pint of water - bring to boil for 10 mins and let cool for 10 mins - OR - carbonation drops in sterilized bottles.
22.Siphon beer into bottling bucket and mix with priming solution. Stir gently to mix—don’t splash.
23.Fill and cap bottles.
24.Condition bottles at room temperature for 3 weeks. After this point, the bottles can be stored cool or cold.
25.Serving. Pour into a clean glass, being careful to leave the layer of sediment at the bottom of the bottle. Cheers!
