I don't know, but you can keep the yeast out of your tank by using a simple 
water filter/bubble counter inline between the yeast brew and tank.  As the 
output from the yeast bubbles up through the water in the filter, 
particulates are removed.  Just gas enters the aquarium.  I've used this 
method since I first started using yeast about 2 years ago.  I've never had 
cloudy water, white slime, or any of the other weirdness I've heard 
attributed to DIY.
