1) rehydrate the dry yeast to best suit the fermentation process. Rehydration can be done by pouring the dry yeast into a container with 10 times its weight in sterile water or boiling must. Rehydration temperature: 27°C ± 3°C.

After about 15 minutes, when the yeast has become creamy with a cappuccino-like foam, stir vigorously. A creamy foam will form, and it's ready to be added to the wort.

2) inoculate the "awakened" yeasts into the must at fermentation temperature.

Alternatively, the dry yeast can be pitched directly into the fermenter, ensuring the wort temperature isn't too low (see table) and ensuring it's distributed over the entire surface of the wort, avoiding lumps. Let it sit for 30 minutes and then stir vigorously for good oxygenation.
