IPA Help

Making an IPA. It has only been in the fermenter 10 days. OG was 1.066 and it is now 1.012. I live in Los Angeles and it has been a little warm. I was considering dry hopping for 10 days now. Is that too soon? I am using the primary only method and then I intend to keg and let it sit in the keg under carbonation for a week.
Should I wait longer before I dry hop?
The sample I tasted from the hydrometer was amazing

Thanks,
Jason

Give it 10 more days, then add the dry hops IMO. Leave for a week to 10 days, then rack into the keg/s.

What is the danger of dry hopping too early?

If you dry hop it for too long the beer could pick up some grassy flavors.

The remaining fermentation will drive off the aromas you seek to keep right out the airlock.

Everybody has their own method and timetable for dry hopping it seems - I usually do two weeks in primary and then rack to dry hop for a week and then bottle. Can't say for certain but the way I understand it leaving it on the dry hops for more than 10 days or so can lend itself to the grassy flavors mentioned.

you could also dry hop in the keg.

If I dry hop in the keg am I doing under carbonation?
