Hi everyone,

I am making in APA and I'm trying to dry hop. It's fermenting at 64F and there still looks like there's activity in it. I have photos to show what it looks like so far. I'm wondering if it is okay to go ahead and dry hop it then bottle in a week. I tried to check how much the airlock is bubbling, but it looks like a bubble is about to form in the airlock then it goes back down so I'm assuming it's escaping through the carboy cap. The airlock was bubbling a few days before this

Any help is appreciated, thanks

Here's a view from the side
I would wait until fermentation is complete. Check gravity few days in a row to see if it is still going down. Once you have the same reading 2 or 3 days in a row then you can dry hop. Good luck!
