I have not heard of it either. Though it is obvious where it originates from, beer industry. I think it means that if you do not consider a crucial part, ingredient, ...of something, you miss the whole thing, because you cannot have the thing without its crucial element. Hope it's clear.

The verb should really be singular, e.g.

"Beer that's made without yeast has no bubbles."

It sounds like a translation into English of a proverb from another language.

And the original would be:

0 A means of preserving food is to layer it in a container with salt. "Salt money away" means to save/put away money, usually implying a lot of money. 0-
