OK, noob time.
I recently posted pics of my efforts to make a dry stout:

After the foam calmed down from agitation, and the lag phase passed, I have had little to no krausen on top of the beer. It's only been 5 days, but I'm starting to get concerned that even though there is some bubbling happening, yeast activity seems to have slowed down significantly.
I moved the carboy to a warmer room to raise the ambient temperature and the thermometer has consistently read 70 degrees F.
Should I just gut it out and wait to see what happens or are there other steps I should take to troubleshoot? Help, please!
