Which mash paddle would you go for?
I'm posting this here as not sure where it best fits...I've got a couple of long plastic spoons that I've used for years.
One thing about them is they easily bend when used in hotter water..ok for using in a sugar wash after you've add the cold water.
I've been thinking about buying a new brew paddle, to go with the BM...now I'm in a quandary....do I go stainless steel?

Or a wooden one?


What do you guys think

I tried to be normal once, worst two minutes of my life.

Use a stainless steel one, it will leave a long lasting impression.


Always give the hardest job to the laziest person because they will always find the easiest way to do it.

I use a 23 inch (58cm) stainless steel shoe horn.
Cost well under a fiver from Aldi or Lidl and has never been used for any other purpose.
