EnkAMania, have you experienced any major differences in gravity? Have you done a side by side comparison with a hydrometer?

It matches or is very close.  The only time it bombed is when I dumped fruit in the fermenter.

I made up a beer thief using a large syringe, some beer line & piece of Stainless Steel.  The SS tubing fits through the airlock hole, no need opening the entire lid.  It minimizes oxygen exposure.

I tried to include image here, not sure if this will work...
