But just to drive the point home and remind everybody:
I was making a starter for an Oktoberfest (way behind schedule as I would have liked to get this to the lagering stage before my basement warms up) and decided to check the gravity of an IPA I have fermenting. Grabbed the hydrometer and put it in the bucket of starsan. Grabbed it by the end and it shattered between my thumb and index finger.
Maybe a defect in the hydrometer or maybe I don't know my own strength, but damn that is some thin glass. So long story short, I'm down to one working hydrometer and one un-cut thumb.
Be careful!
