Short Answer: Yes Long Answer: Brandy is a distilled spirit. Making it involves fermentation (using yeast) then distillation to raise the alcohol concentration. I currently use active dry yeast for fermenation as a base for distillation because it has a longer shelf life than fresh yeast. Be aware that there are many different strains of Bakers/Brewers Yeast (Saccharomyces Cerevisiae) and each has slightly different characteristics. All have the ability to convert simple sugars into ethanol & CO2 - their individual suitability to produce good plum brandy is less assured.
In order to replace Pisco Brandy with an equally valuable liquor one could use apple brandy, apricot brandy, armagnac, cognac, or american brandy. These are all liquors that can be used to substitute Pisco Brandy and still have a type of brandy in the recipe.

Yes, you can use determiners like 'a' and 'the' with yeast. For example, you can say "a packet of yeast" or "the yeast in this recipe." The determiners help specify the quantity or identify a particular yeast in a given context.
In Spain, they added a little brandy to kill the yeast and stop the fermentation. Now the use of campden tablets or sulfuric dioxide will kill the yeast. If it becomes too dry, which is what will happen if you do not stop the fermentation, and you add sugar to make the taste better, it will keep fermenting until you stop the yeast. The yeast will keep going until all the sugar is digested by the yeast and leaves alcohol as the by product. So, by adding alcohol to your fermentation before it is finished fermenting will raise the alcohol level high enough to effectively kill off the yeast at the desired taste level. I don't drink, but I was taught how to do this.
You can use any kind of spirits instead of brandy in a Christmas cake, but the flavour will be different.
