I've had my kit in the primary for 2 weeks. I haven't checked the gravity yet, but plan to in 2 days and rack and degass. The fermenter has been sitting at 64-67 degress the whole time. I heard that it should be warmer than that to get addequate co2 release. Should I put a brew belt on it for a few days and raise the temp before I degass or what?

Thanks
 
Warmer the better to release C02, colder is better to force carb. Not sure what your stepped plan is, but for me I just open it up, and stir strongly if I'm still above 50% attenuation for the batch, and very gently stir if below.
