    I've seen prices falling in stores. For those experienced in this business, can you confirm that is this common and is it typically an initial sag until inventories drop followed by a recovery?

    I saw mostly very dark amber (mine is medium I would say) and one small bottler was at $12.95/qt at the grocery store.

    I'm not doing this to make money, I just want to sell some to help recoup some of my equipment costs.

    I ended up settling on a price of $3 per 100ml + bottle cost.

    So,

    $10.50 for 250ml
    $115 per gallon

    Then again, folks said my syrup tasted unlike any they've ever had, so I kept getting requests for more, even at those prices.

    I charged $3.73 per 100ml plus packaging. I sold it as fast as I could ring it up. I let customers taste test it and it sold every time.
