Sorry this may be stupid to ask
but I'm a little concerned
The fermention wasn't very active in this brew as the one before
its now on day 4 and the little amount of kreusen there was it now gone
and no bubbling in the airlock.
O.G was 1.05
and i can't take a reading cause my hydrometer broke when i brewed last.
should i let it sit for a few more days?
is it done?
I plan on dry hopping it also
 
Get new hydrometer. There are only 2 ways of telling if fermentation has occured, taste which is a 'yup it tastes like beer' or 'nope it tastes like wort' but that only takes a bit. Hydrometer will tell you that your FG of 1.015 is about right. or the FG is 1.020 isn't done

I'd personally let it sit afew more days before dry hopping.
 
Got a new hydrometer
FG was 1.011
finished pretty fast.
added hops gonna let it sit for another week or so then bottle
