My recipe said after everything is boiled and put into the carboy to pitch the yeast. Then bubbles should start forming between 24-36 hours. Bubbling should go on for 48-72 hours and sit after bubbling stops for 3-4 days. Bubbling started about 3 hours after and stopped about 30 hours later. Is it alright or did I do something wrong? It is still sitting, but the bubbling started and stopped extremely fast.
 
Let it sit. Don't worry if I'm assuming this is your first batch.

Yeast starts up with in 36 hours, usually and runs for 2 days vigorously or more then you see no more bubbles. Wait 14 days cause the yeast is still working cleaning up after itself.

+1 on waiting. Don't let the bubbles cloud your judgment on fermentation. If you don't own a hydrometer, go get one now. Fermentation will be done when you take gravity readings three days apart and the gravity remains the same. It may take up to several weeks with no bubbles for the last two weeks.

The biggest thing. about home-brewing is that patience is almost as important as sanitation. Relax and enjoy the process.
