Keep in mind that anything you do to insulate decreases air flow which will increase humidity. I would not use an kind of oil heater as it will make some fumes (even if it says ventless heater). But if you use a burning heater, I would also add a carbon monoxide detector in there. Elec...

Thanks all. Waiting is what I thought the answer would be. The only advantage to dumping it now would be that it would free up the carboy. (no, I don't have room for another carboy.) : )
