  I thought it was about finished until I opened it tonight to take a gravity reading and saw the
  krausen on top.

  I guess my next question is should I plan on waiting a couple more weeks before bottling. I
  know I'll need to check the gravity, but I don't want to open my bucket any more than
  necessary.

  It smelled pretty good when I opened the bucket. Since its only my second batch I don't know
  what to look for. Thanks for all the advice.

  Cool. I avoided taking the lid off till tonight because I know that it can take a while for the
  yeast to take off. I'm guessing my bucket isn't airtight. I need to get a carboy so I can see
  everything...

  I don't remember what type of yeast they sent. It was their standard dry yeast. I pitched it at
  76 which was higher than I intended. It has be sitting at about 68-69 since.

  I accidentally posted before I was finished. Should I repitch the yeast or just wait longer?

  I'm 70 hours into fermentation and I haven't seen a bubble in the airlock yet. I'm brewing
  midwest's Irish stout. I took a picture and attached it below. 103868

  I tasted another bottle last night and the off flavor is going away. I'm guessing it was just
  really green.
