I am only new to Dry Hopping. The last few brews I have had have had very high krausens, and one actually overflowed.

The current one I am keeping an eye on, and have loosened the lid some and hope it doesn't over flow.

When it comes to dry hopping, I have found that some of the hops will sit on top of the krausen and don't seem to permeate the thick layer.

Last time I stirred some.. but is it better just to leave it until cold crash and bottling/Kegging?
 
If they sit on the foam, when it subsides toward the end they'll drop in..

If dry hopping, I've found that doing so at various times adds dimension, towards the end and during cc is my fave, topped up on the keg if I feel it needs it
