Maybe 10kgs MO, then 10kgs of other malts in various quantities

You are correct that I would not wish to waste a day making a beer that is not up to scratch, but it's not about the cost more about the wastage.

My reticence to use invert sugar was the difficulty in buying in small quantity, I always understood it to be a bit of a hassle to make.
