New to Sherry making

[Tonester1963]

Hi, I'm new to sherry making never done this or any to do with alcohol other than drinking it. Hope to get some help and insight on what I'm trying to do for the first time and hope for more making in the future.

Thanks...Tonester

Welcome - do you have recipe that you're looking at?

I talked to the wine making supply store, gentleman said to use wine making kit packages kit so I bought 2 one for each demi-john then went ot the YouTube video. The guy used cans of sweet apricot and tons of sugar to make it very sweet. He said you can use fresh apricots but did not mention how much sugar with fresh fruit. I put a new post called "Sweet Sherry". There's more info there and a pic on what my demi-john jugs look like.

Here's the YouTube video.
