Continuing my research and planning for first all grain next weekend, this morning I'm reading about the iodine test to check for completed conversion of starches to sugars. Seems to be some mixed opinion on whether or not the test is worthwhile. So do you do this test? Why or why not? Seems simple enough and I'm thinking that perhaps when I'm first starting, it might be a good idea to be sure what I'm doing is working.
Also wondering if I should pick up some pH test strips? But, since I do not know my water chemistry or have anything to adjust it, if the pH of my mash if off, there's nothing I'll be able to do about it. It would only be information at this point. Worth a few bucks or not?
Thanks,
