Check out the calcs page on my site. Among other things there is a
calculation for adjustments to hydrometer readings due to temperature
differences. If the difference is under 10 degrees Fahrenheit, then I
wouldn't worry, but your temperature differences definately rate
checking the proper adjustment.
