So I opened my bucket for the first time today, just over 1 week after pitching the yeast. I took some pics and took a gravity reading of 1.023, the OG was 1.060.
I don't think it is ready to go to the secondary but I wanted to ask for some other opinions first. I tasted the beer that I used for the reading. It seemed a little bitter and I'm not really sure what "yeasty" tastes like.

Here is the link to my pics, let me know if it doesn't work.

I agree, you're definately not ready for secondary with that krauzen still there.

I'd say it needs a little more time in the primary, the gravity should get down a few more points. It's normal for the brew to be a little bitter this early in the process. That will mellow. Yeasty tastes like baking bread smells. And that also goes away.

My general rule for primary is 10 days.

Usually give it a swirl after 7 days then after 10 I rack it.

If the airlock is still active or you have a lot of krauzen you should wait. If its still fermenting you will only get a lot of trub in the secondary and might need to rack again. No need to rush you know
