In this case, I suspect it means roughly 1/2 ounce (brick) of compressed 
yeast.  You can substitute a couple teaspoons of dry active yeast proofed in 
the milk.

You could also use water rather than milk and leave the starter sitting on 
the counter for a couple of days, but the results may be uneven.  One of 
times I tried this, the starter started blowing CO2 like a mudpot in 
Yellowstone, another time, I got nothing.

If you feel experimental, when you make a batch of the bread, replace the 
liqour in the main recipe with a couple of cups of warmed cottage cheese and 
add a tablespoon of dill seed, which will give you a version of German 
Dillbrot.
