Adding the additional hops

Added the secondary hops this morning. The mix was still very foamy, but no bubbles in the airlock. I hope we didn't add them too soon.

First, the hops

Next, open the primary fermenter (pretty foamy)

Then dumped the hops into the wort

Happy hops, floating on the foam. There was nothing in the instructions or that I could find online about stirring them into the wort or anything, so I'm assuming they will settle to the bottom as the foam dissipates.

I don't remember seeing anything saying to wait until the foam dissipates before adding the hops. Just that when the foam dissipates, it's time to bottle...
In short, I don't think it's too soon, and I'm sure one of our fellow brewers will concur.
