Wort problem

[Mcf]

I am currently in the process of making wort. I just added the hops 10 min ago. I just realized I don't have another bucket to put the wort in. Will it ruin if it sits until I pick up a bucket tomorrow? Help!

You can reboil the wort for 5 minutes tomorrow.

Should I let it boil the full hour then rebiol for 5 min tomorrow or stop now? I should take the hops out so they don't sit all night right?

Dont stop. Personally i would just go get a bucket at a store while it cools(-after the boil),drill a hole in the lid put foil over the hole or use a blow off tube in it. If that were practical for you. If you dont have another airlock also.

I made this mistake today too

I agree with jonmohno, don't stop, and get a bucket tonight if possible and pitch the yeast.

I suppose you could even pitch the yeast into the brew pot if you have a lid for it, then rack it into a fermentor tomorrow.

I do have a lid for the pot. If I pitch the yeast & it's not totally sealed from the air, will that mess it up?

It doesn't have to be totally sealed.
