Hey all, just had a quick question on how everyone gets a sample for the hydrometer out of their fermenter.
Currently I'm using a bucket for my fermenter. I use a turkey baster that I soak in starsan to extract my beer. I use the bowl I sanitized my baster in to pop my airlock and set it in there. I then just pop my lid, extract beer, and then cap it back on.
I feel like this is up to par with little risk of infection but doing this 3 days in a row to see if fermentation scares me.
Thoughts?
