I am seriously *hating* the waste of beer in taking hydrometer samples. (And don't tell me to use the ****ing tube the hydrometer came in, my hydrometer is 18 mm thick and the tube is 21 mm wide. That's only 1.5 mm clearance around the hydrometer bulb and that *always* affects the flow of liquid making accurate readings simply impossible.)
It takes 7 oz. to get an accurate reading and throwing away half a bottle of beer on a reading is simply disgusting.
So has anyone tried diluting the sample? Say, 1.5 oz of beer 4.5 oz of water and multiplying the gravity points by 4?
Or would that be simply way too inaccurate?
