hi all,
i'm making a lot of hoppy/hazy beers lately and after having had many of them oxidize on me i've started taking great pains to limit the amount of exposure to the air after fermentation is complete or mostly so. that includes doing closed transfers from my carboys to purged kegs with dry hops in them. i'm wondering how best to take gravity samples, both from the carboys and kegs, without exposing the beers to the air though. any suggestions? i used to just use a turkey baster to suck up enough to put in the tube with the hydrometer but is there a better way?
