I sanitized the carboy then siphoned and aerated the wort. I put the airlock on, so nothing else is getting in. Am I OK until tomorrow afternoon when I can get yeast?
As long as the fermenting vessel was sanitized, the wort was boiled and you didn't aireate , you should be ok for 24 hours till you get some yeast. I always try to keep a couple of packets of various dry yeasts in the fridge to keep just that from happening. Or worse if I get a smacker that that doesn't plump. It's a fall back and punt at the goal line type of thing for me.

Ok, Ill aerate again. What's the purpose of this? Does O2 fall out of solution over time despite the airlock?
