9/26 - brewed today and pitching the Halvorsgard today as well 10/27 - bottled today
Based on boiling 5.20 gallonsliters at 1.040 for 30 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 0.50 gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.044. You were planning on an OG of 1.044 so you are right on track. Nice job!
