North Mountain Supply 16-Inch Spaddle
A compact mixing paddle and spoon combined in one double-ended utensil.
Price & purchase ↓
The equipment in use
How this item fits your brewing setup
The 16 in Spaddle combines a slotted paddle with a spoon at the opposite end. It is aimed at smaller batches where a long mash paddle may be cumbersome. Choose it when both mixing and reaching into vessel corners are useful jobs for the same utensil.
The slots let grain pass through the paddle head. Turn the utensil around to use the shaped spoon for corners; it is not a separate removable spoon. Check the working reach against your vessel before choosing the compact length.
North Mountain Supply identifies the material as food-grade PVC and recommends sanitizing before and after every use. No exact heat limit is given. Confirm that limit for a hot process rather than borrowing a boiling-temperature claim from another plastic paddle.
Compare the longer Midwest paddle for additional reach and a smaller end intended for carboy necks. Choose the Anvil if a stainless cutout head better suits your setup. The Spaddle gives you a different size and end shape, without establishing a measured strength advantage over either alternative.

Questions about this product
What else should you know?
Are the paddle and spoon two separate pieces?
No. They are opposite ends of one utensil.
Which alternative gives more reach?
The Midwest reference is sold in the longer 28 in format; the Anvil is specified as 24 in.
Does the spoon replace a sample thief?
It has a stirring and corner-working role. A sample thief is a different tool for drawing a liquid sample from a vessel.
