The Fermtech wine thief and test jar combo has made beer and wine sampling quicker, easier and more sanitary. This simple device not only serves as a wine thief but also functions as a test tube by allowing a hydrometer to be placed directly into it! Simply dip the tube into the liquid and the floating valve will allow liquid to enter the testing chamber. Once the wine thief is removed from the fermenter, the valve closes to retain the sample in the test tube. The brewer or wine maker can than analyze the sample or take a hydrometer reading by inserting a hydrometer into the top of the tube. The sample can then be gently added back to the fermenter to avoid waste by inserting it back into the fermenter and touching the interior of the vessel. This will open the valve and empty the contents of the test tube.

A wine thief is a fast and sanitary method to take a sample from a fermenting bucket or carboy. Extreme care must be taken when working with wine after fermentation due to the risk of contamination. When using the wine thief, a sample can be taken with minimal wine contact or agitation. Simply submerge it in the liquid, cover the top hole with your finger, lift out the sample and release the liquid into the testing container. A wine thief is ideal for any beverage including beer and cider. It is composed of 3 separate sections that can easily be disassembled for cleaning. The thief is also adjustable and can be used at the full length of 18in or at 10in by removing the middle segment.
