Hi - it seems I forgot to take the final gravity of my last beer before kegging and force carbonating. Is there a reason I can’t simply take a gravity reading from a sample poured from the tap, adjusted for the cold temperature, of course? Will dissolved CO2 affect the specific gravity at this point?
Thanks in advance,
Rick
Cheers!
Dissolved CO2 should have minimal impact BUT. . .
CO2 bubbles in solution however could have a large impact on the gravity reading. Make sure that you de-gass the sample and you should be fine.

Just agitate the beer for a minute or two and take your reading adjusting for temp.
I just pictured someone yelling at their sample “Drill Sergeant” style!
