Are you trying to find plain feed barley or malted barley.
Malted barley can be bought at your LHBS by the kg. The range is fairly extensive and they all have their special uses.
The malting process converts starches into sugars to be more fermentable so I assume that malted barley is what you're after?

Have a lookat your local library, I found a couple of good books on distilling \ malting etc there. I also like reading books more than looking at a computer screen :)
