25g Hop bags, it's a pity there are only limited varieties though!

250g grain bags, with a whole or crushed option: "We crush the grain same day as your order is dispatched for maximum freshness."

Yeast selection isn't very inspiring but we should be getting our slant on!

Fresh crushed grains seems like a good selling point for me.

Delivery is only €4 for up to 30kg, cheaper than the others.

And a special yeast packet rate of €1.50 I think!

Some good idea's there! Hopefully the range will expand a bit!

Ultimately if he wants to expand into certain products he'll be buying off one or more of the others.....I won't say prices then hit a sticking point, but prices will then level out...yes level out is a nice way to put it.
