The starch iodine test is used to determine the presence of starch, useful to see if the full conversion of the mash has taken place.
This is an aid to enhance the clarity of your beverages.
To check that starch conversion is complete, remove a few grains from the mash, place them on a white surface and add 2-3 drops of the iodine.
For fruit ripeness check, cut it in half, and apply to check.
If the iodine turns a dark blue to black in colour this shows that conversion is incomplete.
Instructions
- Add 2 ml of Starch Test Reagent to a test tube, using a pipette.
- Then add 6ml of wort or wine.
- Secure the test tube cap and shake for a few seconds.
- If the solution remains an amber or brown colour then starch is not present.
- If the colour changes to a deep red or blue/black then starch is present and the resulting drink may not be clear.
