Does anyone have a Magic Hat 9 clone recipe?

I've gotten a request to make a Magic Hat 9 clone. Does anyone have one that they care to share?

Thanks. I found a few online but none that had a review that said if it was any good or not. I was remis in not saying I am looking for an all grain, although I can convert the extract.

They did a Can You Brew It episode for this beer.

I don't really get the "collect 5.5 gallons wort and add 1 gallon water" comment. Seems like that would hurt your efficiency. Might as well just use that gallon in your sparge.

I also question the fact that they list different fermentation temps for AG (72°) and Extract (75°).
