Hi guys.
I found a paint stirrer to rouse the mash in my urn but it only has a plastic potato masher bit on the end. Would this be ok or try & find a steel ended one. Paint shop says no steel ended ones available from suppliers.
Cheers

I use an SS 65cm potato masher. Not the cheapest solution but it is 100% awesome

I have a yellow plastic ended paint stirrer (the rod to the end is steel) which has served me well.. I have no idea if the plastic is food grade but I haven't noticed any issues and it works very well. (I think I saw beachbum using the same one someplace)

It's probably nylon on the end Crusty. It should be fine - most hard plastics will be. Post a pic if you can.Crusty wrote:I found a paint stirrer to rouse the mash in my urn but it only has a plastic potato masher bit on the end.
Potato masher type mash paddles are excellent. All brewers, whether BIAB or traditional should be using them in my opinion. A 'traditional' mash padddle really has no use in a home brewery.

This is the steel one I found.
62cm long & 13cm across the paddle.
$8.95, bargain.
