dry hopping and fermentation

[hiphops]

I threw in hops into my carboy yesterday and, this morning, I saw some bubbles in the airlock. I know bubbles in the airlock is not dispositive, but any chance this may have kicked off some further fermentation?

Here's the background: the beer had an OG of 1.050 and after 7 weeks of fermentation it came to 1.010 and, without taking another reading to ensure that it wouldn't go any lower, I pitched in the hops. I figured 1.010 is pretty down there, it's been fermeting for a while and the recipe called for a final of 1.011. And besides, Im gonna let it dry hop for 7 days.

Any problems?

Nope, no problems at all.

Ever watch the Mythbusters with Mentos and Coke? Replace "Mentos" with "Hops" and replace "Coke" with "Beer."

It's unlikely they triggered further fermentation unless you coated them with sugar first. Probably you just disturbed the beer and caused it to release dissolved carbon dioxide bubbles.
