Making my first sherry and a little nervous. This is the Cru Specialty Craem Style Sherry, 24502. The instructions say do not add water which yielded about 2.75 gallon in the primary. There's a 1.5 liter fpack, so with my low math skills this should come out to the 3 gallons it's supposed to. My question is on SG. The paper instructions give SG for a port and ice wine, but not for sherry. I went online and the SJS site gives an SG of 1.020-1.030 for Port or Sherry Style.
My reading is 1.158. I doublechecked it with a second hydrometer and got 1.156. Sweet sweet must. Should I be concerned about the SG? I just want to make sure I get this one right.
