Mash Paddle
« on: December 27, 2009, 09:26:45 PM »
I'm about to finish up with my mash paddle carved out of a 36" piece of maple.  I've seen that these are finished by applying a food-grade lemon-based oil but does it really need to be lemon-based or can I just use food-grade block oil?

Is there a concern about the oil dissolving into the wort in the kettle?  FWIW, I have 2 paddles and neither are finished with anything.

I am planning on going raw wood when I make mine too.  Think of the wooden spoon in mom's kitchen.  It isn't seasoned per se.

Is maple the best wood for a mash paddle?
