So I just discovered that there are smaller, local maltsters scattered around the country-- who knew? . Many, but not all, are listed in the attached links, as well as a list of vendors.
Craft Maltsters Guild- List of Maltsters:
https://craftmalting.com/craft-malt/craft-malt-finder/
Vendors that sell to Homebrewers:

The vendors are mostly local HBS, many with not so good websites, making obtaining these malts a bit more challenging.
North Carolina is closest to me and I found these two vendors:
Atlantic Brew Supply- Epiphany Malt- Seems to only carry a base malt at this time, cheapest at $1.79. Has some interesting and very well priced kits that include yeast. $8 flat shipping.

Asheville Brewers Supply- Riverbend Malts- only 1 2-row base malt, a few other 6-row base malts at $1.95. $8.50 flat shipping. They also carry Avangard, which I don’t see being carried by the big boys. An interesting malt “Heritage” reported to be between Munich and Vienna at 7L, but 6-row.

Of the group, the only name I recognize is Great Fermentations, they carry product from Sugar Creek Malts.
Great Fermentations- various types of malts (best selection I found) from Sugar Creek Malts. Highest price at $2.29. $8.99 flat shipping.

I’m leaning towards using Atlantic Brew Supply. Is anyone out there using malts from these craft maltsters, and if so, where are you buying them from? Anything interesting or unusual out there? Clearly, with malt, shipping can kill the deal, so flat shipping is essential. I would like a supplier that has a website to order from, as opposed to having to call or email. Any suggestions welcome.
