  • Spent grain rake/hoe

    I am having a heck of a time trying to find online a spent grain rake/hoe to manually rake out the residual spent grain from the mash tun.

    Can anyone steer me in the right direction? Danke!

    GW Kent has a food grade hoe for $100. I got mine at Home Depot for $8. It's not food grade but I bet it works just as well.

        I know a lot of brewers who buy a regular metal hoe and bolt a plastic cutting board on the end to make it bigger and less scratchy. Also, look for those GW kent hoes/paddles etc. elsewhere. I think I paid a good $30 less than their price for the same mash paddle and had my choice of color. The company that makes them is Remco.

            Yes, I've since found it at Grainger for half the price of GWKent. I'll have a stroll thru Home Depot too to see what I can cobble together too. Thanks gents.

              Yeeeup. Hoe from hardware store + sturdy plastic cutting board + bolts, washers, nuts = penny conscious mash rake.

                1" thick UHMW plastic sheet from McMaster (cutting board equivalent)
                3/4" copper pipe flange
                6' of 3/4" copper pipe
                stainless bolts and nuts

                about $13

                has lasted almost 8 years
