Tripling a dough recipe

I would like to triple a recipe, specifically the beautiful buns recipe. Do I triple the yeast or do I use less?

You probably don't need to triple the yeast, you might want to double it.

I've made a double batch a few times, but never a triple batch, I doubt my mixer would handle it. I HAVE made 3 separate batches in a single day, though.

Double the yeast and double (NOT triple) the salt. Everything else 3X.

Does this "formula" work for any tripled dough recipe?

Thanks,

No formula works for EVERY situation, the answer is always 'it depends'.

It would probably be a good starting point, though.
