Usually they come in packs of three (in the small packs)

They are usually under 3$

Grams is a unit of wieght, tsp/tbsp is a unit of volume. A standard packet is about 2.25 teaspoons. The problem with bulk yeast is that it has an expiration date, and you'll never get through it before it goes bad unless you own a bakery. GL :)

I agree with the 2 1/4 teaspoons equivalence to a packet. It works well for me. I keep the 4 oz (118 g) container refrigerated, although I use it all much before it goes bad. I make a lot of tasty rolls almost every week or so :P

The yeast I use is formulated for bread making machines. It contains ascorbic acid. As for the machine, I use it only to knead the dough. Then I roll it up by hand; let it rise; and bake it. yum. That yeast formulation was also successful with bagels might I add..

And yeah like stated i say stick to little packages unless you make tons of bread at home.
And also for yeast you really want to be precise on the quantity, its gonna affect your recipe by a lot so i say don't use volume, use weight (you need a good balance)

lol! Yeast is a living organism that replicates itself. This means it makes a lot more yeast in the process. I think an approximate amount of yeast is all it takes. I made tasty bread with little. However, way too much yeast leads to strong flavor. Weighing yeast.... hmmmmmmmmm
