Slow WIT or Dim Wit?

The Belgian Wit I made at TAFTB Day had a bit of a problem getting started [probably yhe outdated WLP 400] so I added a pack of WB06 yeast. Things took off like gangbusters. I decided to bottle today [after about 7 days ferm] but when I was removing the orange bits I seemed to notice some continuing action and decided to check gravity and came up with about 1.01 at about 65-70 degrees]. Seems to me like this brew could benefit from a bit more fermenation? I racked and put back in the fermenting chamber at about 70-71 deg just to be sure. Volume [near 6 gal] was a little large due to lower than anticipated boil off caused by insufficient heat source.
I was a bit surprised at the amount of traub but probably should be expected since I'm not quite used to the BIAB process yet. Rig will get larger banjo burner this week.
Aroma was GREAT!!
Am I on the right track?
