Coopers HB spoons (you know the big plastic white ones, we probably all have at least lying about) are useful for more than just stirring K+K.......
I had a stuck sparge the other day that wouldn't clear, turns out the braid had completely collapsed right at the end and was not letting much through at all, luckily I still had my BIAB bag laying about so I lined the urn, dumped the contents of the mashtun into it, the sparge water on top and all was well.
Then this morning I decided I'd simply remove the braid from it's fitting, cut off the collapsed section and then refit it, that was when I realised I could just slide the braid over the handy long spoon handle and voila, repaired braid.
Anyone else found another random purpose for their spoon?
