I want to test the FG of my Saison -- how do you boys usually test it? Just siphon out a tiny bit? I don't want to contaminate my batch!
How do you test FG Gravity readings from the Carboy?

Besides a turkey baster, which i think is the best. Stick it in, squeeze it, release and it sucks it in the tube. I dont have one so I have just poured a little bit into a cup. Not sure if that is the best way but its the only way I have.
Don't pour! It'll aerate the beer, as well as stir up the sediment. Either use a wine thief, which is designed for that purpose, a siphon, or a turkey baster! As long as the tool is sanitized, those all work fine.
wine thief ftw
I also use a Wine Thief. Turkey Basters I have seen and have are not long enough for my 6.5 gallon carboy.

I just bought this wine thief from Austin Homebrew. Couldn't be happier with it.
