WHen you guys check the gravity out of the carboy, what do you use? I was thinking of using a turkey baster... My plan is to soak up an iodophor solution into the turkey baster, let sit for a few minutes and then rinse out the baster. Then remove the blowoff tube from the carboy and suck up some wort.
Is there any problem introducing oxygen into the carboy? I know that co2 is heavier than o2 so co2 should remain in the airspace of the carboy.
What about transfering to the second carboy for secondary fermentation? Is o2 a concern here?
Also, I leave my blowoff tube sitting in a bowl of water that also has iodophor in it, is this correct to do?
I am crazy about sanitization and wonder if I take it a little too far.
