Did I dry hop too soon

[NotSoNew2Brew]

I usually get a real vigorous ferment and toss my dry hops in around 2.5 weeks as ferment is done. I used fresh dry yeast this time rather than liquid, and it fermented very well, not explosive, trub coming out the blow off kind, but really good and healthy yet steady. I tossed my dry hops in yesterday at day 18 and the blow off was burping every 30 seconds or so. Watcha all think? It's still burping today about the same rate. When is this thing gonna be done.....lol Wonder if I should consider a couple more oz of hop pellets when it's totally fermented.... I love hop aroma and it's a pliny type clone.

did you get a hydrometer reading?

The beer is probably done but measuring SG wouldn't be a terrible idea. I'd say you're fine. It's not unusual to still have CO2 releasing that long after fermentation starts. Could be that tossing hops in caused more CO2 to be released out of suspension and perhaps the trub was disturbed which could cause that too.

The first time I dry hopped with more than 1ounce I had this happen and got real nervous to the point of starting a thread here.
The hops wind up being a nucleation site for CO2 trapped in solution.
Enjoy your beer.
