Show Us Your Mash Paddle

[trevc]

So far mine bends but doesn't break. It's special

I'm sure one day it'll snap and flick burning grains on my arms.

If you can find the right size for a neat (Or shrink) fit, shove a bit of ss or food-grade plastic tube over the handle & Bob's your Uncle.

TP :beer:

These things are definitely not to be found in the metrosexual brewery guys, they're seriously macho. But hey there's got to be a place for sofcock paddles too :lol:

Had a SS dip tube left over from a keg like container that I had modified. Had plans to use it for a SS mash paddle handle one day, thought I might take it into a sheet metal place and have them weld on a SS head. Checked a couple of places, one wanted $10 for the scrap SS and $35 to make it up.

Dropped into the Hospitality Superstore at Warana the other day for some beer glasses and asked the store manager Jose if he stocked anything suitable for use as a mash paddle, he showed me one in his stock list, at $27 thought it looked the goods so asked him to get one in for me. Was a bit concerned that it might have been a bit flimsy at that sort of money but took the chance. Picked it up this morning, VERY pleased this thing is seriously heavy duty and well made. Handle 25mm x 690mm Head 230mm x 120mm x 1.8mm thick, total length 918mm. The thing was made in India, probably a bit of the old SS Norway or something, any looks and feels great.

I bought one from Ross yesterday for 30c cheaper...
There was about 4 left on the shelf...

Sqyre...

(No affiliation except for the fact i buy everything from craftbrewer.. )

Sorry Screwy,

Just bought one the same as yours in good old Hervey Bay on Monday for $17($10 cheaper) and sorry Sqyre, still $9.70 cheaper than yourself... :beerbang:

I was stoked, its amazing how prices varie between places, just depends I guess on what the suppliers get them for or what mark-up they are putting on to make a profit or cover overheads...

Cheers

$15 from Gaganis Brothers in Adelaide. No affiliation.



9 days till it gets broken in... can't wait!

 

[Thirsty Boy]

I have a nice wooden mash paddle... but it just seems silly sticking a 4 ft long chunk of wood into a tub with only 20cm of stuff in it. Its even overkill for double batches. I used it once just to christen it then put it back on the trophy shelf.

I stir my mash with a stainless mixing spoon from the caterers shop... $6

Maybe if I start doing 100L batches it would make more sense

 

[driveitlikeustoleit]

Hey Thirsty

Long time no see. Spend $8k at Beerbelly and get a mash weapon.

Blah blah look at their web site for photos. Wayne does awesome **** for a kiwi. :lol:

 

[Lachlan]

My primitive paddle.

$7 worth of dowel from Bunnings and ad 1/2 hour of assembly.

What are you trying to say?

 

[drsmurto]

Finally broke my coopers spoon so went looking for a replacement in the kitchen and found this.

My new mash paddle looks similar to this but with bigger holes. I have never used it in the kitchen.

:lol:, the mashpaddles themselves aren't that much......

What are you trying to say?

It's OK man. That was an Australian compliment :lol:, they just can't help adding that little 'for a kiwi' bit.....it makes them feel better about losing the America's cup, the rugby and the cricket to a country a 6th of the population of theirs.:lol:

[Sully]

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:

I love this paddle, would be great for BIAB I think, I have one of the larger fatter type ones that always gets caught up with the bag. Where did you get this one Batz, wonder if there are any in Sydney?
