So I made a white wheat, added some blackberries during mash and during the boil. I have transferred it from primary to secondary and now into a new carboy for week three. During this week I have added some hops for dry hopping and one pound of blackberries. Will I get ok flavor from the blackberries by adding them once most of the fermentation is done? Or should I have added them to the secondary fermentation? I don't want to get bottle bombs out of doing what I did lol.
 
Adding the one pound of berries when dry hopping will definitely add sugar causing fermentation to increase, as long as you waited about a week and checked that the gravity had stabilized I don't see why you'd have bottle bombs. If you didn't wait for the blackberries to ferment out you could have bottle bombs especially if you added priming sugar too.
