Since I changed the straw and mixed up the sukumo on Thursday, the temperature has been at about 137. This morning I just checked it and it has dropped to 116. The target for day 10, yesterday, was 140. Yesterday I put a bag of wool on top of it just to insulate it some more to see if it warmed up, but it seems to have had the opposite effect.
Today is another changing/mixing day, so I'll do that earlier rather than later. The book suggests putting a heavy rock on top of the straw to weight it down more, during the plastic barrel stage, so I just replaced the bag of wool with a heavy stone flower pot to see if that raises the temperature in the next few hours.
