I made my Chocolate Oatmeal Stout yesterday, and today all seems to be going really well, the yeast starter did it's trick and its REALLY fermenting and bubbling away.
Where I have my fermentor placed its 64ish F right now and varies to 73ish, I had the bucket wrapped in towels and a heating pad underneath. The bucket is pretty warm at the moment, much warmer then the surrounding air temp, I would guess around 75-80 possibly. Is having the bucket wrapped and using a heating pad overkill, and could the high temp mess up the fermentation?

Thanks
