I modified a large syringe to allow me to pull samples of my sour beers from carboys and kegs with minimal oxygen introduction and only slight disturbance of the pellicle.

It requires a 3½ ounce (100ml) syringe with a ¼ OD tip, a small piece of ¼ ID tubing and a section of ¼ OD stainless steel tube. To use just remove the 3-piece airlock cover and cap, insert the stainless steel tube through the airlock into the carboy or keg as deep as desired and pull the syringe plunger to draw the sample. There is no need to remove the bung or stopper.
