KOH Supplier?

I have been researching Biodiesel for a while now. I have read many of the comments on this forum as well as other sites. I am ready to attempt my first test batch of biodiesel. I would like to make several 1 quart test batches. I have 3 gallons of used peanut oil and I have located some small sources of methanol, suitable for a test batch. My problem right now is finding a suitable source of KOH for a test batch. I haven't tried calling any chemical supply places yet because right now I am only interested in very small quantities just to use for a test. Does anyone know of a good place (on the internet or otherwise) that has small quantities of KOH suitable for BD? I realize I may have to pay a premium for such a small quantity but I can't justify buying a large quantity right now. I live in central Kentucky, if that helps any.
