[compost_tea] New Brewer with Question

Currently brewing my first batch of compost tea, which should be
reaching about 36 hours this afternoon.  Basic home setup:

5 gallon bucket, half full with bagged compost from local hardware
store (no homemade stuff available)
Air pump feeding five air stones placed within the compost
1/2 cup unsulphured molasses
Stirred once a day when I get home from work

Everything seems to be going fine in terms of circulation and smell. 
Not getting any noticeable foam.  Is that a concern?  Should I brew
longer?  If so, do I need more molasses?

Also, should I be concerned about temperatures in my garage.  Could
be upwards of 80+ in there as outside temps have been up near 90-95
degrees.

Thanks!
