ive only used my hydrometer once and i just sanitized it a put it in my primary. is that common or should i take a sample out and use the hydrometer in a different vessel?
One of the problems with putting the hydrometer in your primary is when it break (they do that a lot) you have ruined an entire batch of beer. Secondly, krausen and dried crude make it impossible to read.
Get a thief or turkey baster, sanitize it, remove sample and take reading in a hydrometer tube.
