A mash paddle has three basic parts: the handle, the shaft and the base. The handle is used to hold the paddle while stirring. The shaft is used to extend the base into the hot mash. The base is the part that does the important work, namely stirring the mash.
Mash paddles are made of three different materials: wood, plastic and metal. Many do-it-yourself homebrewers choose to craft one out of wood, usually maple or oak.
