Does Betadine contain enough iodine for a protein test?

I have no idea(my guess-probably), but it is simple enough to try and see (get some flour), and let us all know from there, eh?

Edit: I assume you meant starch, not protein. Home brewers don't test for protein.

Can I have a simple breakdown as how to do this test please. I've heard of it. But not seen it done.

 

[Glot]

sorry. My mind was elsewhere. Yes, I meant starch.

Put some iodine on the thing. If she go black, then thar be starch in the thing.

You do this on a sample of your mash, to make sure your mash has been successful.

Ok thanks.

I can't seem to buy Iodine locally. That is why I was wondering if Betadine has enough in it to do the job.

Betadine will do it alright. Used it plenty of times myself.
