Pitched slurry at 74 At 5:00 Took another few hours to get below 70. It’s now been 4 hours and temp is 68. Im using s-04. I like to ferment it around 64. Am I screwed?
Pitching temp issue?

Nah, it'll be fine, your -1.5°F/hr ramp should hit 64°F roughly 7 hours from when you pitched. Should not cause any issues assuming the curve holds and you do hit 64°F.
fwiw, I run S04 at 65°F wort temperature. Keeps the beast that S04 can be on a tight enough leash without totally cramping its style, so to speak.
I recently did an imperial stout (1.107 OG) and didn't need my blow-off hoses...
Cheers!

Good deal. We were doing some work putting together shelves and organizing our covid prepper stuff plus I’ll get a better dedicated space for my brewing stuff. I used a fermenter with a spigot sp I wasn’t able to submerge it halfway like usual.
Yeah, I agree and wouldn't worry. I pitch around those numbers (5-10F over my 'goal' temp) quite often out of impatience and lack of real cooling. Before I had a handle on my process, I was pitching even higher than that and never ran into any real off flavors.

That’s good to hear guys. My wife was nagging a little for me to help and it would have been an hour or more before I could have pitched if I didn’t when I did.
