Plastic Brewing Paddle 50cm — Perforated Mash & Wort Stirring Spoon
This 50cm perforated plastic brewing paddle is a practical, well-thought-out stirring tool designed for homebrewers who need reliable reach and efficient mixing performance in the kettle and mash tun without the weight and cost of a stainless or wooden alternative. At 520mm total length with a 360mm handle and a 115mm perforated paddle head, this spoon gives brewers comfortable working reach into standard 20 and 30-litre brewing vessels while keeping hands clear of heat and splashing wort throughout the brew day.
What sets this paddle apart from a basic kitchen spoon or a flat-bladed stirrer is its 15 tapered perforations in the paddle head — each measuring 11×5mm and arranged in a tapering pattern across the 63mm-wide blade. These openings allow wort and mash liquid to flow freely through the paddle on each stroke, significantly reducing resistance and making it far easier to stir a thick, grain-heavy mash or mix a vigorous boil addition without fighting the hydrodynamic drag that a solid paddle creates. The result is a more efficient, less tiring stirring action that covers the full volume of the vessel with fewer strokes and less effort.
The 11mm diameter handle is comfortable to grip across extended stirring sessions, and the hanging eye at the top of the handle keeps the paddle hygienic between uses — hang it above the brew station, let it drain completely, and pick it up dry when it is needed next. No resting it across the rim of the kettle, no laying it on a questionable surface mid-brew day.
