Stainless Steel Mash Paddle With Drilled Holes (30")

My thoughtful wife purchased this for me this last Father's day. Unfortunately only the length of the paddle is given. it should be worth noting that the width of the paddle is a whopping 5 1/2 inches with the height topping in at 9 inches, lastly the diameter of the handle is 1 inch. This is far too large for my 35L Brewzilla with the overflow pipe. Might be handy to fight off zombies in the upcoming apocalypse or possibly for felling trees and splitting wood. Rating is given for lack of info and returns with shipping make it unfeasible to return.

The size and design of the mash paddle is great for 5 or 10 gallon igloo cooler mash tuns, and should be sturdy enough to move even thick mashes.Unfortunately, the build quality was less than what was hoped for. The flat portion of the paddle exhibits pitting and the welds were not well executed nor ground. The result is many cavities to harbor microbial growth.Overall it will be functional, but better value may be found other products.

Welds aren't absolutely perfect, but by no means do they have to be. This is a mash paddle and its the longest one currently listed on OBK, very sturdy, strong, and perforated. Perfect.
