    Sudden Gravity Drop

    it seems odd to me that the SG has not sinced you racked it and now that the heat has dropped its now going again if any it should be the oposite but maybe the when you racked it off the yeast it needed time to regenerate the yeast levels and then she kicked over again but just a theory

    Og Help - Broken Hydrometer

    i think south english ales are only around the 3 to 4 % alcohol which would start with a low OG but the norther ales are of a higher alcohol around the 5 % and slightly higher which would give you a sightly higher OG around the 1.050 area but i could have them mixed up and it could be vice versa
