Spoons and Paddles

Homebrewing Spoons and Paddles

Grape and Granary offers a variety of spoons and paddles for homebrewing. If you are an extract homebrewer, you can generally just use a good homebrewing spoon of around 18" in legnth. The plastic spoons sold by grape and granary will not melt. Stainless steel brewing spoons are great and easy to sanitize. If you use a wooden spoon, be sure not to touch your beer wort (unfermented beer) with it as wood can be somehwhat porous and difficult to sanitize.

If you are brewing all-grain batches of beer (standard sparging or BIAB),  a brewing paddle is a better choice and so is a mash rake. Paddles and rakes are better at breaking up any clumps of barley that may form as you are doing the mashing process. Rakes are especially good at breaking up these balls of grain or 'dough balls'.
