Why not check out Brewferm[/url:2w0xivfx] products ([i:2w0xivfx]a la[/i:2w0xivfx] Brouwland[/url:2w0xivfx], who sell 25kg bags of Brewferm spraymalt for €115, or 5kg for 30). They have resellers in other countries so might be good to ask at least.

I saw you mention that in another post and did check it out. I'm thinking about it. If I was to order nothing but bulk LME/DME and work in shipping I can get LME from H&G for €5.33/kg vs. €6/kg for DME from Brouwland. But in reality from H&G I could get 15kg more stock (grains, hops, kits, etc) for no extra shipping cost with their 30kg limit.

Still, pretty tempting due to the shelf-life of DME and being a bit easier to work with. Be tempting to pick up some of the toys you can't get at H&G too!

I meant maybe one of the homebrew stores here could become a Brewferm/Brouwland reseller, so you might get the same price, but with lower shipping costs.

ALthough... I used to buy 30kg of DME at a time from Brouwland, and it worked out cheaper than buying Muntons from H&G (only seemed to have 500g bags), even with the higher shipping cost (was €50 at the time, although the DME was a little chaper too then). And you do get more bang for your buck out of DME compared to LME, but that's too complex for me to calculate the relative price merits <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

Hi guys,
Time for us to re-order so once again so I'd really appreciate any suggestions for new products!

Well items that I'll more than likely be buying in the next couple of days are.
33 litre Bucket (Definite)
Bottle Tree (Possible)
Large Rubber Bung (Definite)
Wheat DME (Definite)
Bottle Tree (Possible)
Plastic Tap (Definite)

I'd prefer to give it to an Irish supplier but it's all dependent on cost of course.
