Show Us Your Mash Paddle

[Smashin]

So how many knots does the tinny manage with that on the outboard?

lol....Doesn't take much to get the mash on a plane, if you get a bit throttle happy she'll trow the mash on the ceiling, only did it once....lol

The agitator blade was surplus to a project as it was too small for the application (some times these mistakes might be seen to be deliberate :unsure: ) . I've only just called in a favor to put the shaft on it. Now to build a more permanent mounting for it.

Hey Wayne I like it. Great bit of work Smashin what do I have to do to entice you to make one for me.

No worries mate just kidding. But it has prompted my beer sodden brain with an idea for my own MT

cheers :icon_cheers:

I have the plastic ended Bunnings paint stirrer, looks like a big potato masher, plastic handle metal shaft plastic masher, works a treat, improved my efficiency way more that the wooden spoon i started out with

Does it look like this one of mine? Works a treat.

Boston, mine looks like a different model of the same paddle, mine can be unclipped at the mash end and turned vertically.
Basically the same thing though. Works a treat for BIABing.

Finally gave back SWMBO's spatula, this may be cheating but it sure make mashing a hell of a lot easier, just hooked up the drill on a make shift stand. Just used for first time, kept mash agitated through out the mash (because i could) also made mash out easier (no burns).

Here is mine ready to be christened. Got it from a hospitality shop up at Kawana for less than $7.00. Just drilled the holes in it today... nothing like the smell of sawdust at 5.30 in the morning :wub:

+1

Got one of these last week from a Kitchen shop for $8
Haven't drilled any holes yet, never seen these elusive dough balls :unsure:

Gunna go back and buy a smaller version to replace my broken Coopers spoon (Done while aerating a no-chill AG in the fermenter ready for yeast pitching)

Finally, a proper mash paddle

 

[MarkBastard]

I finally got a mash paddle! Beats using a coopers spoon for sure.

Bought it from a home wares store. Great for BIAB in an urn (up down action). Was only $15 or so too from memory. The handle sticks out by 20cm when sitting in a crown urn so a great length.

Just upgraded h34r: from 3V AG to BIAB Single Vessel and I thought I'd also treat myself to a new stainless mash paddle.

 

[warra48]

Decided it was time to retire the old spoon which came with the original BrewCraft kit.

It's a cheapie wooden paddle from Target, originally designed to be used in woks etc. I took to it with a drill and my trusty dremel, and ground the channels into it. The handle was extended with a piece of Tassie Oak, flattened to fit the paddle handle. It was glued and screwed into place.

I used it for the first time this morning, and it certainly mixes the grains much quicker than the old spoon did, and not a sign of a doughball.

All up, about 12 bucks to put it all together.

I don't think I've posted this in here before, a potato masher would be easier for BIAB but this does the job.

[Cannibal Smurf]

My new mash bling. 316SS, only picked it up yesterday so it still needs a bit of a polish.

Standing beside a keg for size comparison.

Same as Barley Belly's, 60cm Stainless Steel Potato Masher Mash Weapon



Great for BIAB
