Now what you will and should see as activity for some time.
This will go away and less activity will occur and maybe none but have no fear.
sometimes my jars will just sit and do nothing but they will be fermenting with a lesser active bacteria that is still going on.

I wouldn't mess with it myself for at the very least 8 weeks more is better.
My last batch I think was 4 months maybe.

You WILL know if it is bad.
