  skunk27, I believe that there would be no difference, if you chill quickly or no chill.I am a
  no chiller. I did a hop stand, but I also consider it the same as a whirlpool, time wise,
  whether the wort...

  I brewed it twice this year with BIAB. I'm drinking from my second keg now of my 4/14 transfer.

  To the OP, mtnagel:Please see my 4 photos dated today, 4/14/13, which shows that you can
  confidently use your refractometer for reading your samples anytime during fermentation and for
  final gravity r...

  There is probably no appreciable co2 in your fermenter to skew a reading. I got a fuzzy reading
  my last time, last week, no matter how long I let that bugger sample sit out.

  Just my guess, you would have to find out if there is any gravity points in bourbon, then

  safety distance form gas dip tube?(My batches are 10 gal so I should use 3 corny's for

  diS, Yes, that's how you do it. I first draw a little out into a jar (big one), then draw my
  sample into a small jar. You need to de-gas the sample by putting a lid on it and shaking it. I
