• Dilute up to 23L with non chlorinated water.

• Mix thoroughly, measure the SG and record.

• Add yeast.

  • Hydrate yeast following the packet procedure

• If your kit contains oak chips/grapes* and you want to use them, add now.

• Ferment for 10 to 14 days keeping the ferment between 20 - 25 Deg C.

• Once the SG has stabilised below 1.000 the ferment has finished. Measure and record the SG for Alc calculations.
