This is my absolute first batch of home brew. I used a True Brew All Malt Brown Ale kit. I thought the fermentation had gone well. The airlock hadn't been moving/bubbling for several days. This is Day 10, and I was ready to bottle. My fermenter was stored in a basement closet, temperature was steady around 62 - 63F. I brought the fermenter upstairs to the kitchen, where the temperature is 70F. Now the airlock is bubbling again. Did I stir up the batch and cause additional fermentation, or maybe more CO2 is coming out of solution as the whole thing heats up? I haven't taken hydrometer readings because the hydrometer that came with my brewing equipment kit did not have a suitable cylinder to put a sample in, and I don't have a graduated cylinder or anything that I can use without using too much of the batch.
