I've had my first AG (an Oktoberfest) mashing for about 25 minutes now. I went to do an iodine test, but I'm not seeing any purple. I noticed this when I did my one and only partial mash too, no purple even though it's too soon for full conversion (I think, anyway).
So here's my stupid n00b question: I just noticed that what I bought at Wal-Mart, iodides tincture, says it is decolorized iodine. Is that the problem, did I just quickly buy the wrong stuff that has no ability to turn purple in the first place? (Doh!)
