boiling gunk doesn't affect the gravity of the beer. Just put it in your tube and take a reading.

Refractometer... 
IF it's full of stuff, I just put the 4 dram vial into the fridge for a while so it can settle out. Then I pull the fraction of a ml I need to get the reading. 
BTW, 4 dram vials hold 1/2oz of fluid.

You using a hydrometer or refractometer? If you have enough reserved, let it sit at least 24 hours and then carefully pour into your test cylinder. Make sure it's as close to 60F as possible too.
