Hi, I took the gravity this morning and got 1.010. I transfered the wort tonight to the carboy and I took the gravity of the remaining wort in the primary bucket containing a bit of liquid with the deposit of the yeast and the gravity of that liquid was 1.016. Is it at all possible that the gravity goes backward?
Thanks
Daniel
You'll read different specific gravities at different temperatures. The wort will be "heavier" when cooler.

And if Daniel had posted that the temps were different, that would mean something. However, given that most folks don't let the temps vary by more that 5 to 10 degrees, it makes no difference. It certainly wouldn't account for a difference in over .006 in SG.
