My imperial stout came in at 1.027 yesterday. Tonight it's at 1.029. More like 1.0285, but I can't enter than in a calculator. I used the same equipment to measure it, and I tried to be careful both times.
Has this happened to anyone else? Measuring gravity is pretty simple, so I can't see how I caused this. I put beer in a little food processor and ran it for a little bit to get rid of the bubbles. I added one drop of Fermcap to each sample to reduce the bubbles further. I used the same Thermapen to check the temperature.
The beer is on a Flotit, so it comes from the top of the keg. I'm wondering if yeast could be accumulating up there and throwing the gravity off. The beer has a strong yeast taste today. I brewed it 48 hours ago.
I'm going to let the sample sit for a while to see if anything changes.
