Cover primary and let stand for 24 hours. Add pectic enzyme and yeast as per instructions on package. After 6 days strain through a sieve into a glass bottle. Attach airlock. When fermentation is complete (about 3 weeks) rack off the sediment into a clean secondary. Top up to 2 inches below neck of bottle with cooled pre-boiled water. Reattach air lock. Rack off sediment again after 2 months. When clear you can bottle.
