Thanks Medsen - my finished basement area temp is around 60 F or so when not in use in the winter so I just moved the fermenter near the gas heater and started to heat the area.

My previous SG was 1.039 = last week, but when checked today it was 1.045?????? Would the Fermaid O addition cause the SG to actually go up? Made sure to spin the hydrometer and remove the air bubbles before taking any SG readings, so feel pretty confident of my readings.
 
After moving the fermenter adjacent to the basement's wall heater and upping the thermostat last night I woke up to action in the blow off!

As far as the SG reading going higher................ I had forgotten that I had added additional honey to the must a few weeks back. I guess it took some time for that to register although I am quite sure the previous SG reading of 1.039 was a week after I added the honey. So not sure why the sudden .006 bump in SG?
