NCbrewer no I'm not using a bucket but rather a FastFerment conical fermenter. There is a thermowell but I do not have the thermostat for it yet. There is kraeusen that I can see shining a light from the back of it. There was also some on the lid where the air lock is too which I can tell by the light method. It looks like it has already started to settle. I pulled the airlock quickly just to make sure the kraeusen didn't plug it and replaced it ASAP.
I just drained the ball tonight and there was already a lot of yeast and/or trub. Not really sure how to tell the difference. I'm about to replace it with a new ball sanitized with San Star and filled with distilled water that was boiled and cooled.
Maybe this will kick start the fermentation again. Time will tell. Thanks again for your help!!
