Yes, the vortex gives you the whirlpool. As I said, the vortex I get is just as good as the vortex in the video above.

Do you use the paddle HBW linked or do you just jam a regular paddle into the drill and away you go?

It's a normal paddle, like the one Jacob shows in the pic above.

Edit; I did have to file the end of the paddle down to fit the chuck of my drill. My drill only goes up to ø10. The one that HBW have looks like this is already done.

Hmm I might have to try that so. I liked the idea of having a sweet ass mash paddle that whirlpools as well.

And we'd love to see what you make of this paddle. Lets say until next Sunday night, if you order anything from us, we will add one for free. But you must pop us an email so that the packers know to add it.

All I ask is that you post up how well it works. Or not!

Just getting an order together and I'll be brewing a flanders red next week so I'll definitely let you know!

It would but 10 bob vs €2 (or free) from HBW for basically the same job.

I bought one of these for degassing wine and now use it to aerate too. I'm gonna try it and compare to my paddle for whirlpooling

Would something like this not do the same job? I've seen them in a few sizes.

It should, but wouldn't use it with beer. Usually they are painted or made from non food grade materials.
