I use a 5 g packet for 12-25 liter batches. When using bulk yeast, I use 2 to 2-1/2 tsp, which depending on the strain, is 5 g.If making a starter the way [USER=49971]@Ohio Bob[/USER] and I do, it's fine to use less yeast. However, one point of making a starter is to ensure a larger, vigorous colony at inoculation, so I don't use less.When using bulk yeast (like Renaissance) I'll toss in 1/2 extra tsp, just to be sure. It's overkill, but when I have 100 g yeast, it's trivial.
