If the "yeast" mentioned has the property of intoxicating, it is impermissible to drink it, even if it does not actually intoxicate, due to the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Every intoxicant is , and every intoxicant is unlawful," and "What intoxicates in large quantities, a small quantity of it is unlawful."
