Do I have to worry about bottle bombs?

The LHBS recomended that I round out to 1 lb with the wheat malt. you are correct it was not in the original recipe. Is there any way to take a finished product and tell the ABV I don't mind if it is low but I don't want to make the same mistake again and get 3% abv either

You are right, I did not stir after I topped off. I did mix it around with the wort chiller after I topped off the bucket though, would that count? This is my second batch. Is there a way to measure the ABV now or is it too late.

Thanks for the advice. I do have one of those airlocks along with another kind, maybe I will give that a shot.

I have a question. Should I use a 30 qt pot for brewing. Currently I do extract with grain (I think) The first 2 batches I did were over a friends and he had a 3 gal pot. After we brewed we added water to the ale pale to equal 5 gal like the direction in the clone brews book said...

Thanks for the replies, I will sanatize for now on. Not sure how the beer is they are both green and one hasn't carbed all the way yet

Hello, I was watching a video on youtube and the guy was sanatizing his caps before bottling. I have only brewed twice and didn't sanatize them either time. was I supposed to?
