How to pull a sample beer?

[cyberwollf]

Got a few sours in the fermenter. Is there an easy way to pull a soda bottle worth to force carb with a carbinator cap?

Looking to pull a sample without making 10 pulls with a turkey baster or theif...

Ummm a siphon?

Breaking out the auto siphon for one beer seems like a pain to wash... I'm lazy.

This seems easier for some reason?? http://www.morebeer.com/products/sterile-siphon-starter-65-gallon-carboy-threaded-neck.html

Wouldn't that be essentially the same amount of washing as an autosiphon? That'd be my weapon of choice. Kyle

I'm the last person to tell someone not to buy a new toy, but it doesn't look like any less cleaning to me.

I'm to lazy to brew.... guess I just need a big straw to drink from the carboy

Make something; seems relatively easy. Or simply pull one turkey baster's full and call it good. You can fore carbonate that small amount with a carbonator cap.

I'm not sure most sour producers carbonate when sampling from the fermenting vessel. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I was under the impression they sampled it still.

I use a turkey baster with a short length of 3/8" tubing on the end. I can sanitize the whole setup in a 1 gallon mixing bowl

Cost me 3$ at Target
