I recently did my first full sized BIAB batch in my new 10.5 gallon pot. One thing I discovered was that my old metal spoon wasn't really getting the job done as far as being able to get to the bottom and stir without getting my hand in the hot wort. So for my next batch, I bought this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001PZB9MM/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20
A couple of things I'm concerned about. I'm not sure what kind of wood it is although it is intended for stirring food. It also looks like it needs a sanding as I can see putty or glue in the seam between some of the slats of wood making up the paddle. Should I either mineral oil up the paddle or put some other kind of coating on it to protect it and my batches?
