Sampling Syringe

[user 204491]

Yeah, I always tried to make sure that it had a good soak in Star San which seemed to make it slick enough to avoid any problem, but I think over time the rubber stopper just started to dry up. The container it came in did specify that it was designed for one time use, so I don't think it was built to last forever.

I considered a bit of keg lube, but I was worried that might mess up the gravity reading afterward.

The small amount you use will hardly dissolve (it's not water soluble) and won't mess up any readings. I assume the metal syringe you have uses some kind of rubber seal that you would need to lubricate anyway. I do like it, it looks nice.
