Show Us Your Mash Paddle

[Tony]

well after all the talk about the dreaded "dough balls" in the "water to grain or grain to water" thread i thought i would ask what people use to bust up those dreaded fiends

I am planing on making a mash paddle and im sure this has been talked about before but its better that nothing

pictures and performance reports welcome.

Oh

I currently add my grain to the water in the ton and stir it in with a bit of 1/2 inch wooden cirtin rod........ :blink:

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

i know, dodgy right.

well let me know how its done

cheers

Same as mine
Got it from Grumpys

[Pumpy]

Got mine from a chef supply shop on Parramata road and drilled a big hole in it

 

[Aaron]

I was going to start a "Pimp my Paddle" thread but have been beaten to it. I won't bother posting mine as it is exactly the same as Kai's, though a bit more used.

 

[Kai]

And mine has better holes.

 

[big d]

and ive noticed no one has a pimped up stainless steel mash paddle.very interesting

 

[Aaron]

I was just a bit more careful when drilling yours. I kept them in an, almost, straight line

Mine has more character with the volume marks for my kettle in the handle.

 

[Kai]

Offset holes clearly mean better doughball destruction.

Mine has volume marks on it now too, but they're very slight.

The prize for future winners of the mash paddle, ie the winner of the best all grain beer at ANAWBS, may have a striking affinity with kai and aaron's

 

[Kai]

And to think I came so very close to getting one of those.... and got one anyway.

Nah, your's is just a replica. With none of the fame and glory attached to the original

Maybe we will have to source mini paddles for those, like yourself, who come close to the real thing in future competitions.

Yes I must finish those off. So I can win one at this years ANAWBS.

...because Im a very lazy *******:

 

[Kai]

That's some major automated porn, Zwickel. Does it improve your efficiency?

 

[Zwickel]

... Does it improve your efficiency?

o yes it does.

before I had automated the mash-process, I used this one (hard work):

with continuous stirring over all the time, youll get a more homogeneous temperature and a more homogeneous dispersion of the enzymes.
That will improve the efficiency.

Cheers

Mine is SS.
A big SS spoon. No real need for a picture

Batz, you little stirrer, you

 

[browndog]

Well, mine is not stainless, it is the dreaded aluminium, but then the inner liner of my mash tun is aluminium too.

cheers
