I love mine. I bought it at either Chef Tools or Restaurant Depot, I forget. Like $20.

That's what I use too, 24" whisk. Has worked really well for me tho I haven't ever tried a mash paddle so can't claim its superior. I suspect it is tho.

Edit: mine is made by Winco. Short handle, long whip. Easy to clean and awesome at busting dough balls.

Seen a lot of posts using whisks lately, but I've had zero issues using this paddle for well over 50 batches. For $20, I might just have to buy a monster whisk!

"A great addition to the small brewers equipment lineup for mixing of small all grain batches, or to dissolving Malt Extract more easily."


looks 'neat'? but i don't like the use of the word small so much, and extract.....i want the 40"'r

I bought a 24" on Amazon a few years ago for around $20. Worth every penny!

IMO the version with short handle and long whip is easier to keep clean, not sure how you'd get at the interior of that longer handle. Mine was sealed with epoxy which might meet NSF initially, but after some use would be a suspicious source of contamination. If you're worried about the wires being stiff enough to handle heavy duty stirring, I can assure you they are plenty strong enough for anything you could cram into a brew kettle.

Wow that's like 1/4 what I paid for it back in 2017. Awesome piece of gear, nearly indestructible.

Looks great. My stainless bbq spoon also works very well.

Thanks for reminding me that I have a big whip tucked away in the brew pantry.

Also, because it's mandatory ...

Have the exact same one. Life changer. Just wish it had a loop at the end of the handle to hang.

does it reach the bottom of a 10 gallon cooler?

As this item seems to have a fairly high stamp of approval, think I'll be getting one too. Comments like 'dough ball destroyer' are hard to ignore. My plastic mash paddle tries..but it just has too much flex and is frustrating to use when the grist is reaches oatmeal like levels.

Was going to venture out to a local chef store and see what they had...but I can sit on my butt and just order from Amazon for $6??? Dammit...

 

[MaxStout]

does it reach the bottom of a 10 gallon cooler?

I think it would. I have that exact model and I stir the mash in a 15 gal kettle BIAB, with plenty of handle above the surface to hold on to.

 

[Konadog]

This is the one I purchased, and it does reach the bottom of a 10 gallon orange cooler mash tun.

I will add that the whisk does an excellent job breaking up dough balls, better than any paddle I've used.

It's got no problems reaching the bottom of a 150 qt cooler, so should be good to go

 

[Knightshade]

wait..now I see. +$12.18 shipping. Maybe I will venture out and attempt to support the local economy...a wee bit.

 

[soccerdad]

I think it would - as Max and Kona note above.

'dough ball destroyer'

and here i thought i'd have to make a post to name it!!

i broke down and measured my 10 gallon round cooler, it's about 20" tall...

just ordered this bad boy.....$20 for it sounds good to me.....i'm not sure if i'm going call it "dough ball destroyer", or "mix masher"?

And they say there's inflation & supply chain issues!
