Topping up the Plum wine.

Three days after starting the plum wine going, it was time to top it up to the full 4.5 litres. The instructions simply stated it should be 'tepid' water. I took this to mean basically the same temperature as we wanted the wine to be fermenting in, so 20-25 degrees. I tried pouring just a little boiled water in the bottom of a 1litre jug and topping up the rest with cold tap water. I measured this and found it to be about 23 degrees so I added this and another 3 jugs to take the level up to the 4.5 litre sticker. I replaced the airlock and the job was done.
