Yeah, I know, there are already plenty of threads about different syrups and within the millions of pages of those there are many suggestions on how best to preserve them, but I wanted to delve further into the topic and dedicate a thread to getting the maximum life out of syrups.

The main topics I want to discuss are:
Bottle sterilization
Storage methods (to refrigerate or not)
Preservatives (PGA, etc)
Technique (cold process vs boiled syrups)

I'll get into some of my personal experiences in a comment below.
