How much does 1 tsp of Gypsum weigh in grams?
This one from Amazon has done very well for me, too.I don't have any gypsum on hand, but I can say that $16.99 will pay for itself in your process over time.

Yes there is. The standard is to weigh the water additives (except for liquids.) Weight to volume equivalencies for powders are pretty inaccurate. Would you use a measuring cup to determine how much grain to use?let me know if there is a standard for this for Brewing recipies

I cringe whenever I see a recipe recommend adding any brewing salts without any way of knowing what the starting water composition is… especially when it’s volume measurements instead of weight.Yes there is.

Not really blindly adding any brewing salts. I have been brewing for 13 years and know water very well.I cringe whenever I see a recipe recommend adding any brewing salts without any way of knowing what the starting water composition is… especially when it’s volume measurements instead of weight.
OP, for what reason are you blindly adding gypsum?
Edit: to answer the OP’s question… with my scale and “teaspoon” I get 5.48g (very similar to @day_trippr) when packed and leveled.
You can never have enough stuff for brewing, right?

Well, it's true of every inexpensive scale that you can buy on Amazon, and I doubt that too many homebrewers are going to spring for a precision analytical balance. I also don't think the tare weight of the container changes the accuracy of the measurement.That's true of almost every scale, and you should be using some type of container to hold the salts anyway (which will be far more than 3g itself).
Jewelry scales have the ability to accurately weigh small amounts consistently.That's true of almost every scale, and you should be using some type of container to hold the salts anyway (which will be far more than 3g itself).
I presume those are milligram scales, reading down to 1 thousands of a gram (0.001 gram).Jewelry scales have the ability to accurately weigh small amounts consistently.

I hope so.I also don't think the tare weight of the container changes the accuracy of the measurement.
