Hi, Stephen! Your question is a good one. The Daniel Fast guidelines are given to help set boundaries for your fast, but some people may have different convictions about foods allowed/foods restricted than others. The main reason yeast is excluded from the fast is because, in the Bible, yeast is often a symbol for sin. God often required the Israelites to give up leavened bread (contains yeast) during certain times as a way of setting them apart from neighboring peoples. By not having yeast on the Daniel Fast, we’re making a statement against sin and that’s in keeping with Jewish tradition by refusing to eat leavened bread as we seek the Lord. In regards to fermentation, it’s not a part of the fast due to the alcohol that’s produced in the process. I would suggest praying and asking the Lord to give you wisdom about whether to use the homemade grape juice on your fast or not. I hope this information helps!
