This looks similar to my 24″ Stainless Whisk only… larger. That whisk is an easy upgrade that I generally recommend for all but small batch only brewers. Check out my Hands on Review of that great tool.

Use this on brew day in your mash tun and brew kettle. In the mash tun… a whisk like this makes quick work of breaking up up doughballs. In the brew kettle… Use to incorporate extract, stir the brew kettle or start a kettle whirlpool.

I use two similar bus tubs [Note: Mine are a different model from a different manufacturer and different specs] on brew day and I find them invaluable. I keep one below my March Pump setup. It catches drips and also offers a place to store wet items such as stirring spoons, mash paddles, my mash stirring whisk and my equally invaluable 1 gallon pitchers. I reserve the other tub for clean and dry items. Having two of these helps me keep dry/clean and wet/dirty items separate and means less lugging stuff around on brew day.

Four Easy Upgrades for Brew Day!

Looking for some simple upgrades to make brew day go more smoothly?

Sometimes a small investment has a big impact. I’ve found that to be the case with this four easy upgrades. These (generally) cheap upgrades provide a lot of return on investment.

#1 – 24″ Stainless Steel Whisk. This whisk is great for: 1. Stirring in extract. It easily breaks up clumps, 2. Stirring the mash 3. Starting a whirlpool and 4. Helping chill more quickly (place in the middle of your wort chiller to agitate wort). If you’re a homebrewer, I think you should consider owning one of these babies.
