I thought about getting one then found out it's no good if you like to sample and critique your brew throughout the process.
Plus it can only read unfermented wort. Then I read it can read post-fermented, but there are some calculations that need to be made.
Still, why pay 50 bucks and not sample your brew? It's not for me.

Waiting to see what it tastes like is kind of like waiting till the baby is born to see what gender it is.

It's another tool to use and it saves wort. That's good enough reason to have one. This is also good to have when you have broken your hydrometer and do not have a spare.
