Is that a US or a British 1/2 teaspoon? I read recently that there is a signifigant difference between the two.
I believe flynnboy is in Ireland and I seem to remember you are in Austria, so you might both be using the same teaspoon scale, but I don't know and just thought I'd mention it.
I just went up and weighed out a gram of Active Dry as well as Instant yeast and with my US 1/2 teaspoon and you are right.
go with either a slightly rounded 1/4 teaspoon (1.25ml)
or
a slightly not level 1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) <grin>
"I can't weigh 1g." < I know, more fun for us than you!> Maybe you should tell us more about how you are using this 1 g of yeast and we could suggest more or less yeast. ??? :)
Should you be searching for a half teaspoon of the poet, The Yeats Society might get you closer but asking might be considered tasteless and I wouldn't count on anything left after 1938 as being fresh. http://www.yeatssociety.com
:) It's pretty light stuff so it takes up a lot of volume.
Hi Mini Oven

dobie
teaspoons were bought in the US. From water weight one teaspoon holds 5g water. One gram of yeast cake is about the size of a sweet pea, 1 cm diameter
I got a nifty spoon scale. :) (order one from Father Christmas!)
Wanna know how much yeast an expresso spoon can hold?
How about yeast I can pile into an ear wax spoon? They are sooooo tiny! I have one (clean naturally) in my stivia jar. :)
1 teaspoon (U.S.) Instant dry yeast = 3.1 grams = .1 oz
1/4 tsp.
That is a British teaspoon !
Have we decided on 1 gram = 1/4 British teaspoon or 1/2 ?
Thanks for all of your input, I can't weigh 1 gram.
