I drink, so I'm a bit slow. But I think you're asking how to make a 3 gallon recipe out of 5 gallon recipe? Yes, a 3/5 conversion would work. You may have a very small difference in hops utilization, but not enough to worry about.

I'm lazy, though, so I'd probably just do a 2.5 gallon recipe and allow .5 gallon headspace in my three gallon carboy. Math isn't my strong suit.

Try using Beersmith. This will help you scale down 5 gallon recipes to 3 gallons. Free to try for 21 days or so. The purchase price at that point is totally worth it.

And welcome!

Classic. That reminded me of a Homer Simpson quote: "Brain, I don't like you and you don't like me. Let's get through this and I will get back to killing you with beer."
