We at WindRiver Brewing also carry such a device ...
I have returned ths eamp[le to the carboy (but I made
sure that the hydrometer was sanitized).
But usually I keep the sample (especially after it has
fermented to see how it tastes!!)
Cheers!

I use a "Beer Thief" and a Hydrometer jar -
I know
Midwest Homebrewing
carries them both. The Beer Thief is a carboy-long
cylinder with a valve on
the bottom which opens to let beer in, then closes
when you withdraw it from
the carboy. It's not a perfect seal, so I then
transfer the beer to a
hydrometer jar - a tube with a base on it. Sanitize
the Beer Thief and
plunge it into the carboy to get your sample, and
transfer it to the
hydrometer jar. Put the hydrometer in the
Hydrometer jar and get your
reading. Do NOT return the sample to the carboy....
