Brewing tools

What is the name and use of that brewing tool that is a wooden cup on a long wooden handle?
Also what is the name and use of the tool that looks like a long wood spatula?

I keep seeing these tools depicted in old drawings and sketches of people brewing beer. Mostly interested in the cup one. I could see use in the spatula like one.

The dipper is for pulling decoctions.

Brew on

The spatula may simply a "mash paddle" for use when adding grains to the mash water or vice versa, or it may be the device used to remove the spent mash from the mash tun...

Cheers!

oh man, wouldn't getting your hands on those old tools make for great wall decorations in your brew room.

Thanks guys that was helpful. I will be building those two tools to go with the mash paddle I've made already.

Does anyone yet have a proper term/name for the (spatula-like) thing?

I just looked at that picture again and this time noticed there's something akin to a hybrid paddle/rake thingie in the middle of the picture, so I'm going with "shovel" for the other thing...

Cheers!

You mean the hooziwazit?

I try not to use highly technical terms like that one to avoid coming off as high-brow...

Cheers!

man, you guys are dumb......

left to right:

thingamajig, hooziwazit, whatchamacallit. They're all stored in the round doohickey.


Now, I have to question myself on why I stay here.......

 

[day_trippr]

Whoa! Check out the big brain on @Yesfan!

The hybrid paddle/rake thing is actually a mash paddle overlying the artist's rendition of oversized barley stalks, note the hop bines...So I'm going with dipper, mash paddle and shovel ;-)

You can see those tools in use here...

Neat!! Thanks for sharing!

 

[levi.froehlich]

Thanks kevin 58 that was a helpful post

 

[levi.froehlich]

Alright I've finally figured it out. From left to right its a wort dipper (also used for decoctions) then mash paddle and then grain/malt shovel.

 

[day_trippr]

Are you sure? Because we could go through that whole thing again...

Cheers!

 

[Yesfan]

I'm really going to have to do this again aren't I......

Serious note @levi.froehlich if you have a dedicated brewery, those old tools would look good as a display on a wall.
