Testing gravity

I am wanting to pull a sample from the bucket today using a turkey baster to see if I am about ready to keg. I have a 3 piece airlock with sanitizer in it and its in a bucket. What do I need to do as far as removing the airlock and then what do i need to resanitize? It's my first time and don't want to hose it up.

 

1. Sanitize sampling equipment.
2. Remove airlock.
3. Take sample.
4. Sanitize airlock bung.
5. Replace airlock.

 

It's in a bucket so do I need to sanitize the lid before putting it back on?

 

It couldn't hurt.

 

I usually just remove the airlock, but my bucket lid has a hole big enough for the turkey baster. Removing the lid gives you a chance to look at the magic.

 

I think I am ready to keg. Both batches I checked are at expected FG number. They also both taste good. I think I am in business
