A '''mash paddle''' is a device essential to mixing in your strike water and breaking up dough balls (dry pockets of [[malt]]) during the [[mashing]] process. This a very basic piece of brewing equipment, and it is difficult to do all-grain brewing without one.
Mash paddles are made of three different materials: wood, plastic and metal. Most commercial version are made of either plastic or metal. Many do-it-yourself homebrewers choose to craft one out of wood, usually maple or oak. They usually have a hole in the handle to facilitate hanging it up after the brew session is over.
