It's a sickness!
What is the best way to go when getting a new mash stir-er ? Wood paddle or SS spoon of some sort? I brew in a 15 gal keg so lenght of the handle should be at least 35". Got any ideas?

I thought you used those PRS guitars????Chairman Cheyco said:I use one of those giant wooden novelty tiki forks to stir my mash. It's awesome. I got it at a garage sale for $0.25

johnsma22 said:I've had that mash paddle from MoreBeer for quite some time, and I have made many batches using it. I use block oil, which is nothing more than lemon oil, not petroleum based oil, and have never had any head retention problems. BTW, block oil is not for cleaning it after a mash. I clean it as I would anything else I use in my brewery. It keeps the wood from cracking, drying, or absorbing odors.

johnsma22 said:Sorry, but the stuff I use is pure lemon oil, no petroleum product in it whatsoever. I also don't consider a $45 hardwood mash paddle disposable. I find it hard to believe that MoreBeer would sell a product that would ruin beer, or recommend a practice that would ruin beer. Maybe I'm just naive.

Cheap, stainless, and just about perfect. Cheap too. Oh I already mentioned that.
