I use this for everything in my SS kettles. I have a SS spoon but I typically use this one since I don't want to scratch my expensive Blichmann pots.

I like using back-end to stir up a batch in my carboy. I don't think I'd use it to stir up mash, though.

What more is there really to say, it's a spoon, works good for stirring stuff up. If you need a stiff solid spoon, go for the stainless, but if you just need a cheap good spoon to stir up some wort or something, this'll get it done.

Unlike Walmart, this truly is a great value. Don't ruin your fermenting bucket by putting in scratches for bacteria to grow.

spend a few more dollars and get the stainless steel spoon (Item #: BE425). I had issues with the spoon bending when stirring my mash.

This is a great value for the price. That said, I've replaced this spoon a couple of times when the heat and abuse of brewdays starts to stain the plastic and fray the edges a bit. It's still fully functional, but I don't mind getting a new one every couple of years at this price.

This is a good spoon for stirring things...
