Wooden Mash Paddles

We are very passionate about supporting local businesses so when we saw the opportunity to create some wooden mash paddles we worked with a local hurl maker called ‘Scullion Hurls – a family run business from Loughguile’ (*Hurling is an Irish Sports Game just incase you have no idea what i’m talking about)

The hurl maker is also a passionate home brewer so he knows these have to be a strong product, we have made a few different versions of these but have now settled on using Irish Ash Wood for the mash paddles.

We use untreated & naturally air seasoned wood, the quality of the wood is strong and robust and will last for a lifetime if looked after correctly. The wooden mash paddles have been made from Irish ash and have holes drilled into the bottom to allow the paddle to be used to effectively mix the mash and help to dispense any possible dough balls.

The natural wood is simply sanded to provide a nice and smooth surface we haven’t used any oils or preservatives as that can affect the quality of the beer , the wooden beer paddle is suitable for the 20-50 litre all in one brewing systems.

Irish Ash is Ireland’s most common and tallest native tree and is prised for its strength , you can have confidence this is a quality hand crafted product that will allow you to brew many successful batches of beer.

Michael the Hurl maker,  has taken over from his father who started the business in 1979, they are part of the Economusse network which our brewery is also apart of and we work closely together attracting tourists to our working museums, a great visitor experience if you are ever in their area, they do a live hurl making demonstration. These wooden mash paddles are genuinely excellent value and usually sell out quicker than Michael can make them.
