I'm getting ready to brew my third batch soon (IPA) I think. I just have a quick question about testing my gravity when my beer is in a carboy. I have been using a graduated cylinder and filling it with dips of my racking tube and then testing with my hydrometer. I just poke my racking tube into the carboy, put my thumb over the end and pull out a sample. The only problem is it takes quite a few dips to get a full sample. I know you can buy a thief and take larger samples. I'm just curious to hear how you all test your gravities.
