- Making sherry at home is slightly different to making a normal wine as you needd to break some wine making rules!
Here, I go into the basic method for making a sweet sherry wine using tinned apricots.

ABOUT US:
Happy Homestead, a place where every day is happy.
We are James, Dee & baby Ron, a family who run a smallholding on a small island of Eday, Orkney, UK. Eday is a beautiful island based off the North coast of Scotland, UK and is gnarled and battered by the strong waves and winds of the North Sea.
We are interested in permaculture, cold-climate gardening, we keep chickens, quail and ducks, enjoy fishing, hunting and making a lot of weird and interesting homebrew (James is the weird homemade wine guy!).
I prefer a sweet sherry. People often criticise me as though my preference for sweet sherry makes my palate less sophisticated. I don’t understand why.
I love your video and it has inspired me to try making my own sherry.
"Do the don'ts and don't the do's. " I laughed out loud. Great videos! Great guidance!
I have been inspired by your advice to try something new.
I call it RYCE. It is a rye and rice wine. It is only about 3 months old. I used about 800g of sugar on two gallons and an all purpose wine yeast, so it is more powerful than I expected.
Green it was drinkable, but again, strong.
Keep up the fine work.
Greetings from STL.
Wow, really great stuff--
I feel the content keeps improving from an initially admirable position.
This was a great video.
Excellent work.
Thank you.
I will definitely have a go at making some of the sherries you mentioned here.
Don'ting the do's and doing the don'ts!
Sounds easy and fun!
Man - you are inspirational - I have learned so much from you - many thanks - i will give the sherry a go!
Made moonshine. Starting small, obv. 2L cloudy apple juice from the LIDL shop. Crossmyloof yeast. Regular granulated sugar. Spooned in a little liquid caramel after 3 days. A pinch of cinnamon in each bottle. Drank it all in the end. Was.. surprised when I _really_ liked it! Gonna get a big fermentation bucket for when the weather gets warmer and try more now I know it's possible to get drinkable wine!
What do you know, I accidentally made a carrot sherry.
It tastes fantastic. Very fruity 😊.
About 6 months ago I started bottling my 16 month old wine. Then I had a series of unfortunate events which led to me leaving a demijohn half full of dry carrot wine and half full of oxygen filled air.
6 months later I have finally gotten around to bottling it, and it's now a sherry:)
I was a little worried it would be vinegar.
Don't'ing the do's and doing the don't's! Haha. Sorry if I came off as rude earlier, showing off my blaand knowledge n'all. I'll admit I had to look up what exactly a sherry was. Loving the natural backgrounds, by the way.
Seems like I cracked up at the exact same point in the video. (I hadn't bothered reading previous posts).
Great vid again, love the clove tip, thanks.
Keep at it, enjoying your videos
I was looking for a video on how to make sherry and found your channel. I did some reading about sherry first and found that it is oxidized. I have experience making home brews and the idea of making sherry in a "wrong" way sounds different and fun. Thank you and I have subscribed. Cheers!
Thanks! I would love more sherry content
Thank you :) I have filmed the taste test review for this and will be the next upload, and I am also making a rosehip sherry :) Watch this space!
Happy Homestead great, thanks! Looking forward to it.
Another great video! I’ll definitely be making some sherry . Thanks!
I make sherry for the first time from, pomegranate, lemon, pineapple, hope it works
when you add the sugar, you say you will add a further 400g later on in the process, however at the point of adding the sugar, you say add the 200g of sugar? I'm at this point. Which is it please.
Den, did you find out if it was 200 or 400g of sugar to b added please?
@@avisswain1263 Hi ,no reply i'm afraid, I like sweet so I just put 400g. its still very cloudy but it is still fermenting. I have it at the side of a radiator, so it gets hot and cold? i'm will be 6 months in May lets see what happens. in the mean time, We are enjoying our white grape wine from the garden. cheers.
@@Den-xf5em ok, thanks anyway, I'll use 400g, see how it goes.
Love the tip about adding a clove to the airlock to keep away fruit flies during the summer. Thank you for that one. But here's a question. If the idea when making sherry is to allow exposure of the wine to air then why are we to seal the fermenter with a lid and an empty airlock? Would it not be easier to simply use a bucket (very large surface area) that we cover with a dishtowel or muslin cheesecloth (could be secured with a large elastic band)? Is that too much exposure to oxygen? Thoughts? Thanks

I cannot find sherry recipies such as rice and raisins..can you please send me the link
What peaches or apricots can I use. You say with no. Preservatives. I'm in uk
I was si happy to find this video but wondering where to get the yeast. Not familiar .plus the bottle..hmm can I use any other bottle?love from Malaysia
👍🍷that was super interesting
Why not just wrap the cloth/bandage/etc around the top of the demijohn, instead of using an airlock that doesn't use water?
Hiya... quick question...can i keep it in oak cask?
Would you fortify a country sherry at all with brandy or vodka at any point?
Interesting video - have not seen anything like it before. Why would you want oxidisation with sherry? I have not looked into the issue of oxidisation before.
I know with home brew beer kits that you can do a vigorous stirring to get oxygen in at the start, but maybe only then.
Hi James, I'm doing this recipe and have got it in the secondary fermenter now. Only when I siphoned it I didn't do it so cleanly and there is a layer of peach bits floating at the top of the demijohn. Is this OK? Or will they spoil the wine and should I rack to a new demijohn? Any help would be appreciated :)
Danny
The peaches I usually buy have acidity regulator, will this be ok to use?
Never tried this, but I have a LOT of parsnips in
Shame he does not allow for a print out of his recipes, i have quite a few but i do get fed up having to sit at the computer every time i want to watch the video.
I am working on getting the written side of the recipes written up. Juggling work and family I find the days dissapear too fast. It's a flaw and something I am trying to improve :)
@@HappyHomestead OK mate don't mean to push you, just that i am using some of your recipes and as an oldie my memory not what it was so written instructions would help, but i will cope till you can get to it. Phil
Hehehe…
Now my basement distillery and fermentation factory is almost complete…😈😈😈.
All I need is a desert and some sudo…
NO! FBI please I was just joking, please don’t put me on your watchlist.
you say there's 2 types of sherry but there's a cream sherry 2
sorry cant keep watching.
Try stop the unnessary talk at the start of your vodeo, it too dramatic and condescending. Nearly stopped vewing
