No auto siphon, need to get one, oh well still learning. Thanks for the help though gnef.

I dont have a thief (not 100% sure what it is) so what would be the best way for me to take a gravity reading. Should siphon the beer out or can i just tip the carboy until a little poors out into a glass then put that in my hydrometer test tube. thanks for the info.
