That’s a good sign. Although doesn’t mean a lot , because air isn’t compressed and its temperature is slightly higher then ambient temperature. It’s physics at work .
Ambient air have relative humidity. In the southwest desert can be as low as 7% . In the mean time in Louisiana, Georgia, Florida can be as much as well over 90% .
What happens to your beer when you get it out of the fridge ? Sweats! Because of the relative humidity and big temperature difference.
