Great for BIAB

Where did you get it from?... I'd love to get one but assume they aren't very cheap.

Amber,

A paint stirer from Bunnings is just as good. Works a treat, with a good pumping movement. Really stirs up the grain, removes any dough balls and very is cheap. Plastic end, coated steel shank and a plastic handle.

I thought about that but Bunnings staff couldn't assure me the plastic was food grade. I don't want to take the risk weird stuff could leech into my beer!

I got it from the Hospitality Depot in Sydney. You could probably find one at other hospitality suppliers

An alternative is a manual paint stirrer from paint specialist shops...

But I like SS

Boil it before you use it if your are concerned. I have now done 4 brews with mine and I can't see anything adverse.

 

[kelbygreen]

the wort will be boiled anyway??? It will prob be worse if you boil it as it may leach more taste into it. I have never sanitised my spoon as it will all be boiled for 60+ mins.

In the other currently-active 'mash paddle' thread Paraffin oil and beeswax (or just the Paraffin oil) was recommended.

Bought these just recently, one of them is almost a cricket bat....

Reckon they'd be more effective if I drilled some holes or would you say just stirs it less if I do ?
