New brewer here... on my third batch.
I have a big mouth bubbler and really like using it. When it comes time to check the gravity, taking off the airlock and inserting my wine thief is easy enough. It's nice not to have to take the entire lid off exposing my brew to more air than is needed. However, the problem I run into is when attempting to return the test amount from the wine thief back to the big mouth bubbler, there doesn't seem to be away to do it because I'm not able to angle the wine thief in a way that allows it press against the side of the bubbler in order to release the sample beer. Therefore, with my last batch, I had to unscrew the top in order to accomplish this. Is there something that I'm missing here?
