I'm looking at making a spirit thief for my self any ideas on what would be a good size of pipe for it. Was thinking 3/4 but wondering if 1" would be better??
I'm sure we have some people on the forum that use them. So thanks in advance.

From experience I would say should match the size of your thumb and as the dia gets bigger it is a bit difficult to suck and then retain the liquid inside. 1" would be big for me. :)
Made of Glass so you can see the liquid .. or maybe lexan or some other safe clear plastic ...
It only needs to take a sample size, so there is no point making it too big. Also no need to suck. Some of the ones inteded for casks are just a cup on a shaft. Dip in, lift out and pour into a glass.
A stick of solder brazed to the inside of a capped 3/4 tube would do it. Like myles said, dip to fill and then pour.

They are nice. I suspect I would break one fairly quickly.
Thanks guys I saw one last night very simple just some copper with a end cap and 2 reducers on the other end. The cap end had a hole drilled in it. Think that's what I will do. I'm going to stay away from glass ones as I will only fuck them one's.
