Brandy isn't really expensive to make, after all only the berries and fruit need to have decent stats. The only reason prices are high is due to demand, which is bound to slow considering its use time.
Expensive items are things like thakitillo and bivoli.
I kept my prices in line with what i did prepatch and don't advertise so pretty much still have the same customers.
They probably by my enhanced since i sell it 155k a crate (in casks). Which is fairly affordable i think.

I think it's the higher duration slowing sales. A crate of casked brandy (21 doses) with 35m duration will last:
21 * 25 * 35 = 18,375 minutes, which is 12 days. Even doubling up on the brandy means that a customer gets 6 days of 24/7 buff. Since I doubt anyone plays 24 hours a day, someone who bought two crates probably won't be seen for a month.

marketing is the key. don't just adv is starports and on this board, but find as many boards to adv as possible. believe it or not, some people don't actually come to these boards...
my brandy is 415 @ 43m, 18 charges each. i sell these crates for 325k each with regularity. on factory days, when my runs finish and i put stuff up on the vendor, i consider it a bad sales day if i don't do at least 2 mil. i couldn't imagine only selling 500k worth of a stuff a day.
my inv next monday will be 34 boxes of Bivoli (+25 for 14:26, 3 charges), 38 boxes of Accarragm (426 for 42m, 18 charges), and 58 boxes of brandy. i sell crates of 20+ only.
my biggest sales day ever (not restricted to chef) is 15mil. biggest Chef day is 4.5mil.

I am having the same issue. No sales. And I don't carry just a few items, I carry a ton of items and am fully stocked with singles as well as different crates sizes and BE foods. My brandy is about 150K BE per crate and still, no sales. I have to wonder why? I have checked around and every vendor I've been to, the person is only selling about 5-10 different items and are also more expensive than me. Guess it would be nice if I wasn't on Talus. I do try to advertise, but I know what happens when you spam all the time. You get added to ignore. I add people who spam over and over to my /addignore because I simply cannot stand not being able to read what others are saying.

I was having a quiet couple of weeks with only 1 or 2 sales per day, but this weekend I sold over 30 full crates of various foods & drinks from my vendor. My guess is that sales will probably come in waves due to the higher duration on the most popular items.
