You could leave it out for a few minutes to let the CO2 dissipate. There's also a possibility you sucked up some trub in your sample which may be affecting the gravity reading.
Yeah i had left it for a little while, but I think I just got a bum reading for some reason. I just went down to the brew shop and the bloke reckons it's done, given i'd had constant readings for a few days prior and had a sudden weird one it would seem so. I'll take a reading tonight and if it's still reading level i'll bottle tomorrow.
Also bought ingredients for a stout, got a bag of stuff i need to boil apparently which will make it a bit more fun. Also adding some malt to bring the alcohol up to around 5%. Plan is to get that bottled and leave for a few months for winter, I believe the stouts appreciate the extra bottle time.
