In the next couple days I am going to take readings from my beer to see if it has stopped fermenting. However, I feel like each time I take a reading I will be pulling out a decent amount of my beer. My question is, can I put that beer back in the batch after I test it, or has it been too exposed to airborne microbes to be sanitary? I am going to sanitize the beaker, the beer thief, and the hydrometer but I am still worried that the exposure to the airborne microbes will contaminate it and I don't want to contaminate my whole batch. Any thoughts?
