What does a "wine thief" actually look like?

[BigC]

I'm sure I know the concept behind a wine thief, but not sure if I know what one actually looks like! Would I have one in my "basic equipment" starter kit?....can't believe one of my very first questions is such a daft one!!!

This is a wine thief. We call her Julie! If she shows up on your door step send her away! That is unless she has some wine with her.

I know, I know..."ask a stupid question"!!!

Think I figured out a "turkey baster" would work just as well!!

 

[grapeman]

How is this.......?

 

[TJsBasement]

I was too slow.

 

[BigC]

Much better than a turkey baster....thank you!

I have the fermtech thief from the above site and really like it except when trying to get a reading out from a 1 gallon batch where the thing isn't deep enough. So for those, or for just stealing a bit out of the top of a carboy to taste, I use my trusty old "wine only" turkey baster

Not too sure what they look like, but I believe there are a couple in my basement. If I ever catch em, I'll get a pic of em and get somebody to help me post it on here. Arne.

That link goes to some bentonite. FVW links often do not work.

B&WS:

Then start selling the Fermtech one. I'm pretty sure that a hydrometer won't fit inside the one you sell.

Fermtech wine thief has treated me very well. Hydrometer fits right inside and is easy to read through the walls.
