for those doing half batches do you use a 3 gal carboy?

to do half batches (2.5 gal) - is it as simple as dividing the 5 gal recipe in half? Thanks

That calculator give me an OG of 1.055. Is this from using LME instead of DME? What effects will this have on the final beer? Lower ABV? Thanks

So I have been wanting to start brewing for a long time now and I just finally got my whole kit together and everything i need... for a while ;) Now I need some help with what I should brew first. I was thinking an IPA or a flavorful Amber or Pale Ale - I enjoy a good hoppy beer. My wife...
