Hi all,
I was wondering if any of you have ever experienced this and what your thoughts are about this:
I was checking the gravity of one of my beers recently right before racking into secondary, just dropped the hydrometer into primary bucket, waited a minute for it to stop bobbing, when I looked at the hydrometer for a reading it slowly started to rise. It first read 1.005 then slowly rose to 1.008. I was using a finishing hydrometer (.980 - 1.020) @ 60*F. My temp was about 78*. I know that there needs to be a temp correction and all, but I thought this to be a bit odd. Thanks in advance.
Cheers, Kev
