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....
