Customized Brew Paddles

I recently made a customized brew paddle for my brother. He is just getting into all grain brewing. It got me thinking there may be a market for these. Any feedback would be appreciated. They are 36” long by 3.5 inches wide at the widest part. The paddle part is about 16” long. The paddle is constructed out of a ¾ inch solid maple. The edges are beveled on both sides. I can personalize them with your brewery name so long as it fits in the space available. See photos for more detail. I would like to get $48.00 plus shipping. Please let me know what you think.

Thanks,

Todd

Can you do a different cutout? Looking for a patriots logo. I did one, but it was not too good and the handle has already broken.

I could do the outline of the logo. Not sure if people would recognize it as the pats logo

that's pretty sweet. I like it a lot. If I didn't already make my own a couple months back, I would definitely get one. Love the beer bottles cutout!!!!

if you are going to take orders and make several of these I think you should get a vendor account

Here is the latest one I made for our LHBS.

Very nice! I would almost want to stain the handle portion to make the engraving/name area pop.

This one has a food grade mineral oil finish as requested by LHBS. There seems to be a debate over finish/No finish.

This is what I did with mine

I am a lot less skilled with the wood than you and the paddle has already broken. Would something like this be feasible? If so then I could see myself putting in an order. What kind of turn around do you have?

I made my first mash paddle/brew paddle out of red oak. It works fine but I like the tighter grain of Maple. It grain does not raise as much after getting wet. Seems like it is easier to clean.

A very good quality product will worth the money. Think I have my Christmas shopping done early. Each one can be different and custom to the brewer. Such as Shorty who is over six feet tall.

I will be ordering soon, just spent my June allowance!

Pledge paddles...!

"Thank you sir, may I have another?"

Kickass! I may need one of these when I convert a keg I just got to a mash tun.. a NikoBrew paddle would be awesome.

Could you do Reds C for the cut outs in the end? Also what would price with shipping to 45701?

bubbachunk,
Shipping to 45701 via UPS is 11.43. I may be able to do sveral C's. Have a look at the mock up. This is would not be cut all the way through. Let me know what you think.

Thank you for all the requests. I just updated my status to vendor (paypal just sent).

I have been getting requests for finer cut outs in the paddle part. These finer cut outs are problematic because of the way the grain of the wood runs. (This is how the karate guys are able to break boards with their fists, they are breaking the wood with the grain rather than against it).If I were to cut these out they would be very fragile. I originally designed the beer bottle cut out so there were no small pieces of wood to break off while stirring the mash. The work around is that I can relief cut it into the wood. The design is cut 1/8 into the wood but not through it. Please let me know what you think.

For clarity: the brewery name and paddle carving is only carved on ONE side.

Best regards,

Todd

Would you be able to mockup having "510 Brewing" in the handle and a 510 on the paddle. Very interested, these are bad ass

Thanks for the comments. Hows this?

I like the look of the mock up but would like to know if you could fit The Schnoz Brewing where the reds is now?

Do you just use photoshop or something to show what it "would" look like?

Niko,

No, This is from the software that comes with the machine that cuts these. It allows you to save as a .jpg

Android,
I can do that. I have not priced cherry but I am sure it is a little more. I would adjust the price by the difference in wood price. Let me know.

thanks for the reply, i was just curious to know if cherry wasn't used because it leached flavor or something.

I am not aware of any reasons not to use cherry. I chose maple because of it hardness and tight wood grain.
