Hi Guys, first post after lurking for a couple of weeks! I picked up a used brewing kit over the weekend from craigslist. The guy I got it from said it would include a Robust Porter recipe, but the only ingredients he provided for me is ~1/2 lb of Briess chocolate malt, ~1/2 lb of Munton's black malt, ~1/2 lb Weyerman Rye Malt, ~1/2 lb of Lactose and priming sugar. Being new to all of this, how can I make beer using these ingredients? He did mention that he couldn't find the hops, so I picked up some cascade and columbus per LHBS recommendation. I know I still need yeast, but is there anything else I will need? Also, yeast recommendation would be useful as well!
Also, this is my first 5 gallon brew attempt, so my skills aren't as finely tuned as most of you! Thanks in advance.
