Ok, I made two brandy things. 1 was +426, 50 fill, 30 mins. The other was 40 mins, +408, 49 fill. Which should I sell?

No question, the 40-minute brandy. What i typically do with Brandy is get the buff just over 400, then put the rest into time. The longer it lasts, the better.
Problem with 30-minute brandy is that if you take 2, the buff wears off before you can take 2 again.

What u really need to do is get the dur to at least 45 then use the rest of the points into strength.

I find that all you really need is a base of 400, everything else should go into duration for pve brandy. Any extra points in power would bump it to +420-+430 max compared to the same amount of points in duration hitting 51-52mins. With a brandy macro, that totals to around 20 or so minutes of 4x stack brandy compared to an extra 60 points in the mind stats.

agree, people shy their heads at anything less than 400, i normally make +412/43m occassionally hit +400ish for 45m but thats a bit tougher

Well, I feel that making sure the duration is such that the stomach fill is empty when the Brandy runs out is key. From what I have seen, and from what people have told me, that is around 42 minutes. So my Brandy is +433 for 42 minutes, 30 seconds. 49 fill and 21 uses per. I feel anything over 43 minute or so is a waste....all they have to do is take another one when it runs out. So getting 20 more pts in power is really like +60 since your impacting mind/focus/willpower. Plus, for whatever reason, the higher power seems to attract more folks in terms of sales than the higher duration.
The other factor here is making sure you combine your Brandy with your Ahrisa. I run my Ahrisa at +427 Focus for 44 minutes. This means my customers can figure Brandy and Ahrisa running out within 2 min of each other...if they are using a macro they can set it up to feed themselves then....stomach fill is then available on both and they can start it all over again. As a Master Rifleman myself, who really depends on my Mind, I can tell you +433 Brandy/42m 30s and +427 Focus/44m is a combination that is pretty hard to beat.
Bottom line is your filling needs to be as close to when the stomach is available to take another one as possible. Nobody wants to be in the middle of a lair and have their Brandy run out and be unable to take another one.

I personally never sell any Brandy that is less then 45 minutes. I have been saving up resouces for a while so I don't have to worry about it. Even when I was a younger chef with less resouces and points, I still would always hit 45 minutes first, then see what I can get in nutrition. Im lucky enough to be making 430 46m30s 50fill 18 uses

if you are getting those kinda stats on brandy i think that you are using pretty low resrouces... even when i had only 10 exp point i could hit 403/45min/18uses/49filling

On sunrunner, you can't even really sell anything below +400, 45min, 50fill. And least not at any kind of reasonable price. And most 12 pts sell +410ish, 46min, 49fill AND 21 uses.

Mine is usually
+423 for 42 min 30 sec.50 fill and18 uses
so you can always take two and never have a gap to the next two
but i really wonder how you can get
+433 for 42 minutes, 30 seconds. 49 fill and 21 uses per.
i mean 433 is clear, but how do you get 21 uses with such high effect and time?????
i ve 120 exp, 131 assembly, use exp and assembly food and live in a city with exp bonus, but for reaching that stats
i d need a 13th point that i don t have

my frist run was +433 36 minutes.
since then i got a few more points in Exp' and Assembly. so my next one will be around
+423 and over 40 minutes.
i agree thatunder 40 minutes makes it hard to stack the brandys if your out hunting for a long time.
and the extra 15-20 on the buff doesnt make up for a Whole extra brandy

Stomach should empty after 45 minutes. If you drink two fo those brandies both with 50 fill, your stomach should not be 100% empty for 45minutes. That means if you wait till 42.5 minutes when both your brandies wear off, you can eat one, but will have to wait a couple minutes to eat the other.
