How to use Go Ferm

After searching this site for instructions on how to use Go-Ferm I can only find threads that say follow instructions on the bottle. Unfortunately my bottle has no instructions. Can anyone help with me with some direction on how to use the stuff? I know to use 1.25 grams per gram of yeast but how do I add it to the yeast. Should it be in the water before I rehydrate the yeast or should I add it as I pitch the yeast? Can I boil it?

Q: When should I add GoFerm? How much should I use?
Go-Ferm should be added in the rehydration water of the active dried yeast prior to the yeast addition itself. The recommended dose is to add 2.5 lb Goferm/1000 gal (of total juice/wine) into 20 times its weight of clean 43°C(110°F) water. Stir the GoFerm to dissolve. For optimal performance, maintain a ratio of 1 part yeast to 1.25 part GoFerm.
