Sheesh! - is this so difficult? In San Jose, try:

and give them a call.

I paid $ 1.- / lb in Boulder/CO, got 2 lbs over a year ago and still work
on the first lb. They also had malted rye there :-)

other cities, try:

KA - well, I think one pays too much on everything from there and needs
shipping. By my taste it's overkill and one does not need the "pure" malt.
Malted barley through the kitchen blender does fine and the critters are
happy about the ground up bulk and minerals from the whole kernels -
especially if they are deprived living on white flour diet.

They (KA) appear to charge close to $ 5/lb and one needs to pay shipping,
then it's over $ 12.- to CO - so.... money is not everything, although
spending $ 12 for a lb of grain I find somewhat extreme and I think it
gives bad sourdough karma. If the brewer shops are open today (looks they
are closed on Mondays), you get it right away and get the benefit of
checking out their shop - they are in the fermenting business as well.

If you're a purist and think you need to get it from KA, get it there, but
I sure don't want to be in your sourdough skin.
