Dont have a very clear pic,
but its a 1m long handle ss catering padle
they appear on amazon and ebay at a reasonable price, fairly frequently im 80% sure i got mine via amazon? currently some git on amazon wants �ã90, i paid circa �ã30 delivered..
im afraid my ebay or amazon purchase is well beyond archive retrieval (ive looked a few years ago)
wait a few weeks and keep checking for a reasonable price or low starting ebay auction imho.
you can qmax some holes in the paddle face if you want, i prefer to keep it whole as the slight delay n filling a divit allows me a quicj glance to check for the dry flour traces (not that i ever spot em underleting and mashing in with that beauty
found a ã36 one on amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B005T34ZI6/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

lots of leverage and no sign of a wobble or a flex of the handle like some brew spoons and paddles.. and woe betide any intruders who make me jump mid mash in
i can mash 15kg of grain (dry) so something designed for a 5-6kg mash wouldnt be upto it..
for smaller brews in the g/f i will use a smaller paddle tho
which came from brewuk iirc https://www.brewuk.co.uk/gf-steel-paddle.html
you wouldnt want to dig into 15kg of grain with that puny little paddle tho
brewuk also have this mid sized option..

Cheers for the replies! I have just ordered one similar to your picture above! Got it from homebrew online..free as I had accumulated enough credit in their loyalty scheme! I added a bit of speciality grain and some hops too.

That's interesting, do you mean the SS paddle isn't sturdy enough? I've been using a plastic paddle up to now so looking for an upgrade.

No it's sturdy enough, just towards the end when most of the grain is in, the end of the handle digs into my hands a bit when stirring it (I need to man up a bit :lol:)
that's the same one as I got from my LHBS works fine but then I do only 4kg grain max

slip a bit of (new n clean) garden hose over the handle top to bulk and soften its feel in your hand. if feeling flush get some fancy cushioned cycle handle bar tape :)
The force is with me...

I've been having the same issue. I have the same style as Clint showed in the pic. It's great in general but my hand cramps up from doughing in 4 kg of grain, just a matter of the "handle" being too thin to get a proper grip. I was going to get the wooden one form GEB for my birthday but the guy at the homebrew shop told my wife that wooden ones tend to go moldy. She just had her giant wooden jam spoon go mouldy so chickened out. I guess it's possible if it's not cleaned properly. Definitely need something better to grip before I do the up coming big brews.

I've got a really long handled wooden spoon that I sometimes use to mash in with. That's not gone mouldy. I dont do anything special to prevent it going mouldy
Yeah get it bought!
