To "pitch" (add it to your wine) your yeast you should rehydrate for 20 minutes first:

• Use room temperature cooled boiled water - 50mls for 5gms yeast.
• If you are using it add GO-FERM® Protect first.
• Then add your yeast.
• Stir gently - it will clump but don't worry about that as it will even out as it rehydrates.
• Leave to sit for 20 minutes.
• Make sure your wine is about the same temperature as the yeast when you stir in the yeast.
