Perhaps a silly question but...
I bought a new fermenter bin the other day with a tap. Am I safe to use this tap for taking samples for my trial jar, or would using this introduce oxygen into the beer?
I presume I will need to remove the bubbler first or the liquid inside will be sucked in.. correct me if I'm wrong!
 
Yes, you are safe taking a sample using a tap no oxygen will go in and no need to remove the airlock as you are only drawing very little into a trial jar (if that's what you're using)

Tip: fill your airlock with a no rinse sanitiser if possible and then if some does get sucked in it doesn't matter.
