Dry hop after vigorous ferment?

[DarkMerosier]

So my beer fermented pretty vigorously and blew the lid off my bucket. This is only the second batch I've made, and I was planning to dry hop it afterwards. Should I still dry hop if it's fermenting this strongly? Will that mess with anything? I did a search on here first, but only came up with methods of how to dry hop, and nothing about if the intensity of a ferment and if that affects a dry hop phase. Sorry if this is a ridiculous question, still new to this whole thing!

Let it ferment three weeks, than dry hop

You need to wait for fermentation to finish, then dry hop for ~7 days before bottling. The vigor of the fermentation process has nothing to do with dry hopping or not, just if you want the aroma of hops in your finished product...

So the dry hopping wont kick up any dormant yeast or anything, and is really just an aromatic thing? And do you think I should use a hop sock or just let em float?

When dry hopping in the fermenter, I just chuck them in. When I dry hop in the keg, I use a bag.

Float that boat. I put all the kids in the pool. But there are multiple methods.

Mesh bag, in primary or keg. Stainless steal tea ball in keg. Zip tie to dip tube in keg. Primary dry hop then rack to keg or secondary.
