I would say wait. If nothing else, maybe lift it off the floor (say up on a milk crate or something), especially if you have tile or linoleum floors. Water takes a quite a while to get up to ambient temperature. RDWHAHB!

Man, when you go all in... you go ALL IN!

So did you only make a 1 gallon batch? Otherwise, this should be 15,796.

I started a 5 gallon batch last night... 15,361 + 5 = 15,366 Woof...

I'd actually really like to go to meetings and such if for no other reason to get some advice from experienced individuals. But working 2:45 to 11:00 Sunday through Thursday kinda puts a damper on that.

Do you by chance have access to a gas chromatograph?

30 years ago, "everyone" was predicting a new ice age. 10 years ago, "everyone" was predicting a new desert age (for lack of a better term). Nowadays, how about people just say that it's too hard to predict the future based on the limited observations that is direct, scientific measurement...

Good call! HA! Where's a rimshot when you need one?

You're in college? Have you asked around at any of the local dorms/student housing/fraternities/sororities?
