- The sugar is poured into a 2g bucket, add the juices and nutrients, along with other ingredients.
- The bucket is then filled to the 1g with cold water.
- Stirring will dissolve the sugar, and the yeast starter and Pectolase are added immediately.
- This wine will ferment to dryness in approximately 3 to 4 weeks at 21°C.
- At the end of this period, two Camden tablets should be added, and the wine racked a week later.
- 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.
