I use a 5 gallon kettle also, but a full 3 gallon batch would probably need a bigger kettle. If the grain bill isn't too big, I could get 2.75 or so (Did a golden ale last weekend with a 5lb grain bill). But generally you want a kettle 2x as big as your batch size if you're doing BiAB.

With that said +1 to BiAB, having fun with it atm and getting really good beer in the process.
 
BIAB. I've never looked back.

Agreed. Going to BIAB was probably the thing that kept me brewing. If I would have stuck with extract, I don't know if I would've stuck with brewing. Took me several batches to really hit my stride, but once I did, I started brewing some really good beer...if I do say so myself.

Then you should look into the FotHB trade thread!
