  1. The sugar is poured into a 2g  bucket, add the juices and nutrients, along with other ingredients.
  2. The bucket is then filled to the 1g with cold water.
  3. Stirring will dissolve the sugar, and the yeast starter and Pectolase are added immediately.
  4. This wine will ferment to dryness in approximately 3 to 4 weeks at 21°C.
  5. At the end of this period, two Camden tablets should be added, and the wine racked a week later.
  6. After 3 to 4 months, the wine is brilliantly clear and drinkable as a rough white wine, but it is significantly improved if cask-matured for two months.
