A recipe I want to make calls for 7.5g yeast and my scales only go in 25g increments. Does anyone know what it is in tablespoons, teaspoons etc!

weigh out one increment and use one third of this . a fraction more does not matter

7.5gm yeast is 1½ tsp. a standard tsp measure is 5ml/5g (using a measuring spoon).

1 teaspoon of yeast is actually 3.2g so 7.5 g is 2 1/3 tsp !
