I took my first FG reading on my first brew. I couldn't get a good reading because of the layer of foam on top of the beer in my graduated cylinder. Any tips for removing that?
I usually just overfill the sample tube and let the beer and foam spill out until there's no more foam.
There's a flaw with this method, you're spilling precious nectar of the gods! HELLO!:cross:
I was told to pour the sample back and forth between two cups to much of the carbonation of out of it before measuring with the hydrometer.

I have some drinking straws in the back o the pantry. I just suck the foam out.
