Making a Yeast Starter

Add 1/2 teaspoon of sugar and the contents of the sachet to a glass with about 50ml of warm water. (approx. 20 °C)
Cover the glass with a clean plate and simply leave for 15-20 minutes.
Before you empty the glass of yeast into your brew we recommend vigorously stirring your cider/beer/wine.
The more oxygen introduced before you put the yeast on will promote a strong healthy fermentation.
