Beginning fermentation way too warm?

Does each reading need to be 24 hours apart? Can I do one in 24 hours and then another in 12? ...i.e. so I can get to bottling.

I'd take two more readings and if it stays at 1.016 then it's good to bottle or or condition longer if you want.

I've been taught 3 days consecutive. Better safe than sorry..cause if its not done fermenting and you bottle it will continue to ferment in the bottle.they will explode due to the pressure build up its up to you but I recommend taking one once a day for three days.

It's better if you wait 3 days. The less you pry off the lid and introduce O2, the better
