There's your answer right there: "Boil down during 60 minutes to 3 gallons of finished wort."Collect wort until you have 4 or 5 gallons. Boil down during 60 minutes to 3 gallons of finished wort. After the boil, add the tea to the top up to 5 gallons of finished beer. After the boil, add the tea to the top up to 5 gallons of finished beer.
In a normal 5 gallon batch you're probably boiling down more like 6 gallons to get 5 (or if you're like many of us, 6-7 to get 5-6 to account for later losses).
Assuming you've got software and it's dialed in for your system, including boil-off, the easiest thing to do is to plug the recipe into software and let it do the calculations. Set your batch size to 3 gallons into the fermenter, enter the grist using percentages if the software supports it or fractions of a kilogram if it doesn't, and then scale the recipe to the desired gravity.
