Got sick of the plastic spoon because it couldnt actually reach the bottom of the malt pipe without me sticking my hand in. Searched the shed and found a decent piece of wood in the way of an old hickory axe handle. Couldnt sleep last night so I went out and knocked this up wasnt planning on doing it just yet but knew I was mashing today so why not....worked really well. Ill probably make a nicer one later down the track but I like this for now, does the job and is home made and really really solid!
