Step by Step

Mix the crushed grains with 5 gallons (19 L) of 168 °F (76 °C) water to stabilize at 152 °F (67 °C) for 60 minutes. Sparge with 175 °F (79 °C) water. Collect 6 gallons (23 L) of wort runoff to boil for 60 minutes. Add the hops, Irish moss, and yeast nutrient as per the schedule.

Cool the wort to 75 °F (24 °C). Pitch the yeast and aerate the wort heavily. Allow the beer to cool to 68 °F (20 °C). Hold at that temperature until fermentation is complete. Transfer to a carboy, avoiding any splashing to prevent aerating the beer and add the dry hops. Condition for one week and then bottle or keg.

Extract only option:
Substitute all of the malts listed in the all-grain recipe with 6.6 lbs. (3 kg) Briess Goldpils Vienna liquid malt extract, 1.3 lbs. (0.59 kg) Munich dried malt extract, 1.3 lbs. (0.59 kg) Pilsen dried malt extract. Bring 5 gallons of water up to 200 °F (93 °C). Remove from heat and add the liquid and dried malt extracts and the Warrior hop addition. Stir until all the extract has dissolved then continue to heat to a boil. Boil for 60 minutes adding the remaining hops as indicated. Follow the remaining portion of the all-grain recipe.
