thanks for the fast and informing replies. I got 3 gallon bucket cause it came with some kit i got, i will order a 6.5 gallon online when i know i can make a good beer in this 3 gallon. The 6.5 gallon buckets are good to make 5 gallons of beer right? I dont need an exactly 5 gallon bucket do i?

I am using a 3 gallon bucket so i will brew a little over 2.5 gallons. The ingredient kit that came with my beer gave me 1 pound of dry light extract, 1 ounce of cascade hops and 11 grams of brewing yeast. Does this sound right for a 2.5 gallon batch? And do i have to add any sugar to the wort?
