i actually did not take temp when i bottled. i just know that it got really freaking hot in the house the next day while i was at work right after bottling. if i had to guess what room temp was when i bottled i would say around 75, and that is what i accounted for in beersmith.

I did a week in primary then moved to secondary for 2 weeks. Gravity was stable for the final week. According to beersmith the estimated FG was 1.014 and i measured 1.010 before bottling.
