You get the same N in the hopper just lighter to save compaction.

90.6p/kg but no committed tonnage and can order whenever I like and whatever I like along with 8 months delayed payment terms.

What product/blend was that? Sounds an excellent price.
I assume you 40p number is S as So3 ??
Interesting comparing this today and using @Steevo's 40p/kg S cost
cheapest N I bought was in DAP at £0.44p/kg (giving the P the same value as in TSP available at the same time)
The liquid we buy is the most expensive at £ 0.82p/kg but I had no committed tonnage - just phone and order as required
Looking at home brew UAS I could be making it today significantly cheaper I reckon that has got to be worth the effort for a saving like that ?? not to mention that its a better source of N as well

No, S as S.
My calcs were:
AnS at £247
= 21% N (210kg) and 24% S (240kg)
N at 70.4p/kg x 210kg is £147.84
£247 (total price) - £147.84 (assumed N value) = £99.16.
£99.15 for 240kg S works out at 41.31p/kg S
Either that....or i've made a mess somewhere!

Isn't the 24 S in AS 24% SO3 and not 24% elemental S ?
Elemental S would not be very available
Elemental S is 2.5x so3 I think ?

The AnS was supposedly 60% SO3. My logic was SO3 divided by 2.5 was S....therefore the equivalent would be 60/2.5 = 24% S.

You have 370kg of N In each M3 so £312 / 370 = 85p per kg of N

What quantitys of what products do you add to how much water? Also does it take much mixing? Or is it a secret recipe

Have never made UAS before but have done plenty of n20 from urea and that's simple enough
Recipe easy to work out but key to making it cheap is a good supply of cheap Amsul and urea which I think I have available

Probably cheaper than me as less distance to haul.

£0.72/KG all urea and still a bit to buy, hoping next load will be cheaper than the last. tempted to buy a bit for next year but cashflow could be a problem, strange as storage is usually the problem
That was a blend 50 50 of urea and size graded AS. Very good product with good spread pattern. Worked out as 33 n 30 so3
