Hi,
I found the conversion
Convert the usage of dry yeast to compressed yeast and vis versa
Compressed Yeast Active Dry Yeast
Weight Weight Measurement
1 ounce 1/2 ounce 1 1/2 Tbsp.
1 1/2 ounce 3/4 ounce 2 Tbsp.
2 ounce 1 ounce 3 Tbsp.
4 ounce 2 ounce 1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp.
6 ounce 3 ounce 1/3 cup
8 ounce 4 ounce 1/3 cup + 3 Tbsp.
10 ounce 5 ounce 1/2 cup + 2 1/2 Tbsp.
Hope this helps you. I forgot my milk and yeast fermenting over night an am wondering if it is still alive..LOL..
Have a great day.

Sorry new to posting, but I think one package of yeast which is 7 grams or .25 oz would be 2 1/4 teaspoons?
I have tried using this in reciipes and it worked.
Take care
