Help - Should I Bail This Mash

[djackal]

I have been attempting to do a mash in inadaquate equipment and have had trouble keeping the temperature at a good temp and am not sure that I have converted all of the starches. Should I ditch it and start again later with better gear or could I still use it . i.e will the beer be drinkable?

May as well finish it off and see what happens!

Do an iodine test to see if it has converted. Teaspoon of mash liquid on a white saucer. A drop of iodine on it. If it stays brown you're good. If it turns purplish, no conversion.

Don't add the sample back to your mash.
