4.2 gal Strike water = 127.6F. Hold mash at 122 °F for 15 mins Infusion -- 122 °F 15 min
2.6 gal (Using boiling water) raise temp over next 15 minutes to 154 °F Infusion -- 154 °F 15 min
Hold until conversion is complete, about 60 to 90 mins Temperature -- 154 °F 90 min
2.4 gal (Using boiling water) raise temp to mash out at 168 °F Infusion -- 168 °F 5 min

Notes

Do not bother with Irish moss or other kettle finings. Chill the wort rapidly to 68 °F (20 °C), let the break material settle, rack to the fermenter and aerate thoroughly.

Pitch ten grams of properly rehydrated dry yeast or use two liquid yeast packages. Alternatively make a 2 qt. (2 L) starter using one package of liquid yeast. Begin fermentation at 68 °F (20 °C) slowly raising temperature to 72 °F (22 °C) by the last one-third of fermentation.
