Day Three:    Check on your mixture.  If the yeast has produced a thick foam, proceed.  If the foam has not yet appeared or is thin, wait
                                                              another day before proceeding. 
   
                                                             Transfer the contents of your stock pot to your jug, leaving behind the foam.  Add enough cooled water that chas been 
                                                             previously boiled to fill the jug to the neck and seal the jug using two paper towels held on by a rubber band.  Place the jug
                                                             somewhere at room temperature.

                    Day Five:   Check on the mead to ensure that the yeast has stopped producing foam.  This may take up to four days depending on the
                                                             type of yeast used.  If the paper towels have become saturate with foam, simply replace them with new ones.  Place the jug
                                                             in the refrigerator.
