I aim for 6 gallons at the end of my boil, every time. I always have some volume of loss due to hop absorption, and yeast cake. That way I end up with 5 in the keg.
I dry-hopped in the primary for the first time after 7 days of fermentation. I took it off the yeast and kegged it after 14 days as an experiment. I always to a secondary, and here I didn't. The clarity is slightly less clear than it would've been with a secondary, so I'd say 7-10 days secondary couldn't hurt anything.

A full ounce of Citra at 60 min couldn't hurt either. It's extremely delicious, but I do wish it were a touch more bitter.

I did get the movie reference
Watch The Night Of The Hunter as you drink this.
This beer had an unbelievable aroma and flavor. After about three weeks in the keg it is just phenomenal. It's also CRYSTAL CLEAR despite the no secondary. A touch more bitterness would hurt, but on the whole it's my best beer I've brewed.
I almost forgot
Mash at 152 for 60-75 min
OG 1.056
FG 1.008
Efficiency on this brew was 75%

A BJCP judge asked me for this recipe after tasting this beer tonight at a brewing event I attended!!!!
