1 tablespoon of yeast is how many grams?

Answer 1

Which kind of yeast?

A packet of dry yeast is 1/4 ounce.

A cake of yeast is heavier.

Either of these is equal in leavening power to 2.25 teaspoons of bulk granular yeast (either active dry or instant active dry.)

When you open a brick of bulk granular yeast, that pound of yeast explodes in size to more than a 3 pints.

Because you don't specify what you're asking, there is no answer.

And there's a lot of "give" in recipes. Yeast multiplies over and over until the entire recipe has been "infected" with the yeast. That's not just my observation, either - the book of Galations advises us that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.

In baking, I use 1/2 to 3/4 of a tablespoon to start my sponge. Even keeping the yeast in mason jars in the fridge, I end up throwing it away after about a year more out of paranoia that it's going weak than any observed change in the baked goods. A pound of yeast costs what, about $3? I figure that's far cheaper than throwing away baked goods worth $10 or $15.
