OK so i know everyone says dont pay attention to the airlock bubbling but i have a question.. my belgian IPA has been in the primary fermenter for a week and a half, it fermented vigorously for about 3 days and then stopped. i took a FG reading a couple days later and it was right on target so i have been letting it sit for another week b4 i move it to the carboy (to dry hop). for the last 3 days the airlock has begun to bubble again, about once or twice a minute, after it had been completely stopped for around 4 or 5 days. is this normal? its my first brew by the way so any info helps thanks!
 
Yup, don't worry about it. It can be many things, another point or two fermenting out, standard CO2 off-gassing as the dissolved CO2 moves towards equilibrium which can be impacted by things as small as atmospheric pressure changes, or ambient temperature changes.
