Why siphon off to test SG? I've always (for about a dozen batches) just sanitized my hydrometer and dropped it gently into primary to test. Is there something I'm missing? It just seems simpler and I don't waste half a beer. I guess I'm waiting to hear a "I don't understand why this beer was contaminated, the only thing I did different was test SG in the bucket" story. I've just never read that anyone does it like me.
