Hey guys, I just finished a batch of Northern Brewer Irish Red. I started my dry yeast too early. It has been sitting for about an hour and a half now, and my wort is still at 90ish degrees. I'm out of ice so I can't ice bath it like I'd like to, so can I leave the yeast sit overnight and...

So after reading a few posts here, I think I may have messed up... I am brewing a Brewer's Best Weizenbier as my very first brew. Followed all the steps to the letter, but it said in the instructions to ensure that my OG reading was at 1.047 and to not add too much water as to fall outside of...
