Source of DAP in Bulk?

I have just been using homebrew store yeast energizer, which is basically DAP and some vitamins I think, and that works fine for the small batches of hard cider I have been making. But if I am going to ferment sugar wash, I really need to figure out what to use that I can buy by the pound instead of by the ounce! Any suggestions?

You mean something like this

Sorry you wanted a 1 pound bag

Yes, perfect. Funny I did not find that when I searched Amazon, I got all kinds of caulking and crap! I guess I should have searched "diammonium phosphate" instead of "DAP"!

Correct me if I'm wrong here but why would you be looking for the pound sizes? Don't or doesn't DAP work at the same ratio for sweet feed or an AG or hard cider or or where a package should do at a min and I mean at a min 2 maybe 3 washes?-I can be my own worse skinflint but that's about real world right beyond using a bit of ingredient that has some or Pugi's yeast bomb! I'm not asking how much you're burning, that's not the point of my asking!
Unless you live waaay out in the boonies or some part of the world made smaller only by internet access you need look for pounds...?
As for doing a sugar wash, my vote goes for Odin's DWWG!
I wish you well! Brew Greatly and Prosper!

Sometimes the cost of shipping makes it more economical, and sensible, to buy in bulk.
