I brewed a Scottish ale last week using Lalbrew Nottingham hi performance ale yeast with this kit from Michigan Brew Supply:

I had a vigorous fermentation 24hrs after pitching the yeast resulting in a big blow out thru my blow off tube. Temp was towards the higher end of the recommended range at 70deg. Would I have lost yeast if this happens? OG was 1.072 (recipe says the target OG is 1.074). Final gravity target is 1.016 per the recipe. 1 week later and I’m still getting a bubble in my mason jar about every 30 seconds to a minute. I checked the gravity and it’s 1.024 but it is tasty. I plan to let it go another week. My question is should I pitch another packet or half packet of yeast or just wait another week, then check the gravity again? Link to my pic of the controlled mess:
