Good idea about the water heater. My water heater is nearby, cheaper then running a seperate heater :D

I just wanted to pass on my thanks again for you help on these boards. After work yesterday afternoon I warmed it up with a heat pad for a few hours until the temp was reading 22c. I then turned it off and left it for a few hours until it started bubbling. I then left it wrapped in a blanket...

Ah wort temp was fine. It was around 21c when i pitched.

64f is roughly 18c though? I was under the belief that most Ale yeasts should be between 18-24c or 69-75f, hence my conern about being 4c below the recommended range. Im not fussed about the time taken to ferment out, I just want it to ferment and not turn into a bad batch :D

Yes, 14c. Sorry I should have specified that in my post. Thanks for the reply, I'll put my heater on it this afternoon after work and I'll take it from there.
