I just tried a (for me) new method for taking samples for SG measurments.
I wanted a two hole stopper, which I will get for the future, but for this
measurment, I just sanitized two pieces of 1/8" ID tubing, I wrapped some
plastic wrap around near the end of one of the tubes, then around the other, creating
a big blob. I inserted this over the top of my sample bottle, inserted the other end of
one tube into my fermenter, held the sample bottle below the beer level, and sucked
on the other tube. I quickly had a sample, with a minimum risk to my beer.

Personally I use a wine thief for taking samples, it's very easy.

I bet this is easier to clean and sanitize. And it fits through the hole in my bucket.
And I had the hose. There seems to be a lot of discussion here about starting siphons
and taking samples. I just thought I'd throw in my two bits. To each his own.
