Hi, All. I am currently dry hopping (w/ oak chips) a beer and have noticed an increase in "activity."
Not sure what that "activity" is as I had pretty much hit my final gravity (1.014) by the time I transferred to the secondary fermenter.
For the first week or so, there was some bubbling, but nothing that really concerned me. I thought that the bubbles were due to trapped air or something.
Tomorrow will be the 14th day in the secondary and the bubble rate has certainly picked up (see pic below). Any thoughts on what is going on? Is it the hops? Is it the oak chips?
I was planning on bottling today, but I am now hesitant. Thanks!
