Mulling Iron (Hot toddy iron, loggerhead, bierstacheln)

from $50.00

***I’ve decided to run this sale until the first of the year, though if you want them by Christmas you have to have your order in by 12/12/25 to give me time to get them made and shipped***

A mulling iron has many names but only has really one use. It’s used to be heated to a red hot color in a wood fire and dipped into a tin mug filled with a beer. Yes you read that right, people are purposely boiling beer and drinking it. The purpose of dipping it is to carmalize the sugars giving it a smoky wood and caramel taste. (There are plenty of recipes online from people who understand this process better than me). The ones I made are based off an example in the book “Early American Wrought Iron”. These have a fairly long handle to ensure your hand is far enough away from the hot end. They also have a loop for hanging for when not in use. These come in two different styles one that’s simple or one with a slight twist in the handle.
