 * 4) Add the activated yeast and ferment for 2 days before pouring it into a demijohn. After 2 days, pour into the demijohn and top it up to the shoulder with cooled, boiledwater. Fit a bung and airlock and leave to ferment to dryness.
 * 5) Move the demijohn to a cooler place and allow to clear and settle. Rack the wine as soon as a sediment appears. Rack again when necessary, topping it up with apple juice.
 * 6) This wine should be drinkable in about six to nine months.
