The bubbler only bubbled for less than a day. Now 5 days since the boil, I am anxious to get a reading. Is it OK to take the lid off the bucket and get a reading, then re attach the lid? My plan was to get a drinking glass, spray with star san, and scoop out about a cup being careful to not touch the beer. Then put it in the hydrometer flask, test, and discard. Does this sound logical. BTW - No, I did not get an OG reading. Doh.
