Maybe stupid question or I'm just paranoid...
I gave five batches in the basement right now, three are in buckets. I want to take hydro readings to see where they stand but I'm afraid to take the lids off... How do you guys do it? Here's my issues:
I'm going to stir it up getting the lids off
I'll have to do this a few days in a row to see if it's done so only compounds the issues
And I'll be exposing the beer to the elements each time..
What if I were to drill a hole in the lid the size of a #10 stopper (put the stopper on) and use that to take readings with a thief? Any ideas??
I guess with 25 gallons down there I just worry
