A stainless mash paddle with cutouts and a hanging hook for grain mixing.

One Anvil paddle with cutout head and hanging hook; the brewing area is a use setting.

The equipment in use

How this item fits your brewing setup

The Anvil paddle is intended for mixing grain into brewing liquor and breaking up dry clumps during dough-in. Its broad head works through the mash, while the anvil-shaped openings leave a path through the head. Choose it for that mixing task rather than for transferring liquid or filtering grain from wort.

This reference is 24 in long and specifies 14 gauge stainless steel. Compare that reach with the depth of your mash vessel and the space above it before choosing a handle length. Gauge describes the stock specification; it does not establish an exact millimeter thickness or a particular stainless grade here.

A hook at the handle end gives you a way to hang the paddle between uses. Check the vessel rim and your storage arrangement instead of assuming it will hang securely from every kettle. The supplied item is one paddle, without a kettle, thermometer or grain-handling system.

Choose the 36 in hardwood paddle when additional reach and a T-handle are the useful differences for your vessel. Choose the 16 in Spaddle for a smaller-batch tool with a spoon at the opposite end. None of these shapes guarantees a particular extraction yield; select by reach, material and the work you need the head to do.

Questions about this product

What else should you know?

Would a spoon do the same job?

A spoon and this broad cutout head present different working shapes. Choose the head you need for mixing grain, and check reach before comparing materials alone.

Does it replace a sparge diffuser?

No. The paddle mixes the mash; a diffuser spreads incoming sparge water during a later operation.

What changes if I choose the longer wooden paddle?

The 36 in model adds reach and a T-handle. That can matter more than material if a shorter paddle will not reach your mash comfortably.
