Help with King Arthur site?

Hi all,

I feel like a dope having to ask this, but could someone tell me how to navigate the KA site? Specifically, I can't seem to find any mention of flour or grains being available in any amounts over 5#. I'd just like to be able to compare prices as I'm considering buying 50# each of Sir Lancelot flour and whole red spring wheat berries. I can get them from my co-op for $.90/# for the flour and $.74/# for the wheat. That adds up to a pretty hefty investment from my point of view, and if KA offers them for substantially less, I'd love to take advantage of their free shipping offer!

Thanks,

edh

Grains

I seem to have a problem with grains, such as rye grain etc, as in say Dan lepods recipe he says "boil the grains for 45 mins and then soak overnight. Now iv'e tried this twice now with different recipes but they still taste hard even after baking the loaves, making them almost inedible, iv'e actuly soaked them for much longer but without success. Any ideas how to rectify this problem ?

Cheers
