Iodine supply

[Birdsnestbrewery]

I want to get hold of some iodine for testing my mash. Most searches give food supplements from so-called naturopathic (fake medicine) supplies.
I found this page Iodine Test for Starch which says that what we need is called Tincture of Iodine (or Iodine Tincture) and that it's hard to find these days.
Anyone have a preferred source?

THBC sell it, I would think that Malt Miller would too

A quick check around and it's hard to find a homebrew supplier that hasn't got it. If you've got kids at school, chat up the science teacher for a bit of I2/KI (Iodine dissolved in potassion iodide solution) it doesn't have to be the tincture. Schools use this for detecting starches just as we do.

A bottle from The HomeBrew Shop arrived today so all good.
I have some mash experiments to do.
