I'm brewing a lager from an extract can all is going well I bottled a week ago and I'm wondering if I need to pasteurize the plastic bottles so they don't explode or will they be ok left alone?
 
If you let fermentation run to completion and calculated the correct amount of priming sugar you shouldn't have any issues.
 
Thanks I used coopers carb tabs in 500 ml bottles they took 1.5 tabs each so i think I'm good
 
Assuming primary fermentation was complete, you should be good.
 
Yeah you should be fine as long as fermentation was complete prior to bottling. Also if you are using plastic bottles less to worry about with explosions you should see the swelling prior to that if it is going to happen.
 
Good point i didn't think about them swelling! Say they did swell could i still fix them?
