My son has filled a 20 gallon barrel with the Amber rich grade with the intent of selling it to a whole sale buyer. This gives him some instant cash to meet expenses. I am contemplating purchasing it from him and recaning it for sale here. To make it a profitable venture I will need to charge a even $70/per gallon flat rate shipping included. That is pretty close to the before shipping price from many mail order operations. I am testing the water here, if I see enough interest to move around 15 gallons I will most likely go for it.

If I wasn't diabetic I would buy more too but I can only have it once a week or so without sending my numbers off the charts. This batch will last me a long time and I am giving half away. However, it makes great Christmas presents and if you are not going to meet your 15 gallon goal I will buy another gallon to break up into smaller pints or something and give as Christmas gifts so I will be watching this thread. :good:

PS- according to Kathie's research you can freeze it indefinitely.

I know this thread is for the amber, but any dark left for sale? I would like to try some of that as well if there is any left.

We did not make much of the dark, the color went from light to very dark without much in between. I will look over the inventory and see what there is.

Well, I just posted in the other thread and look at this, an answer to my prayers, i MUST be dreaming... I am in for a gallon! If it gets tight and you think you might not be able to sell enough to make it Worth it then count me in for 2 :drinks:

Christmas presents you say? I'll take a gallon in pints if that's possible?
