Iodine

Post by bert7cosby » Fri Dec 05, 2014 8:55 am

Hi, I have been looking at a few home brew shops trying to get iodine solution to use in my all grain brewing to check the starch conversion and don't seem to be able to find any.
Where do you chaps source yours from ?
Thanks
Brett

Yeh I popped in today and they have stopped selling it. Does any one have a link to a company that sell it ? There seems to be different types and I don't want to end up with the wrong one.

Try CountryWide. They sell it in the sheep meds area.
