Hi all
I just finished bottling today. It is a cream ale from OBK. My starting Gravity was 1.044. For the past three days my FG has been 1.002 at 66F. I moved beer to where I am going to bottle and let it sit for 1 day. The beer warmed up to 72 F.So I checked the final gravity after bottling for 1 last time and now it says 1.022. So I am kind of freaking out here did I just bottle a whole bunch of bombs? Would the temperature change screw up reading?
 
SG reading will change if you added priming sugar. If you used priming sugar and were around 1oz per gallon bottled then you're fine.
 
I never took that into consideration lol. I used 4.5 oz of sugar which would obviously change the reading. Thanks for reminding me of that. Noobs are brutal for worrying about there precious beer lol.
