Well, let this be a warning. I took a sample today of a brew on its way into the bottling bucket and got a really weird reading: o.998?????? "That can't be right" I thought to myself. Somehow I figured a taste was in order..... "What the heck is that!" I thought when I felt something solid bump off my lip on its way into my mouth. Needless to say, I spit out everything, then spit a few more times for good measure. It wasn't long before I realized the salty taste of blood. "Ah-Ha!" both sensations were quickly explained when I looked into the wine thief to see a broken hydrometer . Glass is really sharp, BTW. Nothing severe, but I did cut my lip and tongue in the process. Heads up to everyone, I guess.
