I use bulk yeast and most my recipes call for yeast by measurements. Now I have found a recipe to use that calls for 2 packets of yeast. Anyone know how much yeast is in a packet????

Try this:
RED STAR® Active Dry Yeast is available in strips of three 1/4 -ounce packets and in 4-ounce jars. One 1/4 -ounce packet of active dry yeast is equal in activity to one 0.6-ounce cake of yeast. Three 1/4 -ounce packets are equal in activity to one 2-ounce cake of yeast. A 1/4 -ounce packet of active dry yeast contains approximately 2-1/2 teaspoons; the measurement will not be exact as yeast is packaged according to weight rather than volume. A packet of yeast is sufficient to raise 4 cups, approximately 1-pound, of flour.
