Thanks for the quick replies, I needed to get my notes at home.
Let me say first,

I took my gravity reading last night, 1.014, son of a *****!!!
The last time, about a week ago, I looked in the bucket and what I thought was a mold ring apparently is a krausen ring.
Here is the recipe:
2 cans of Muntons extra light
½ # 60l crystal malt
1oz. 5.3% Sterling pellets, 60min
.5oz. 5.3% Sterling pellets, 15min
.5oz. 5.3% Sterling pellets, 1min
2-7g pkg Superior Dry lager yeast
I tried to get some White Labs San Francisco Lager, but the LHBS did not have any lager yeast, I had the 2 packages yeast at home so I went ahead.
I cannot do full boils right now, so I split it into 2 3-gallon batches, which created another problem I did not think about, evaporation. When the boil was done and I got it cooled down to about 150 degrees, I transferred it into the bucket, I had under 4 gallons of wort. The gravity was 1.062 corrected; I quickly boiled another gallon and put it in.
I waited about 19 hours until it was cooled down to 62 degrees in my fermentation chiller, I oxygenated it for 2 minutes and pitched my rehydrated yeast. It was in the chiller for about 4 days at about 50 degrees with no visible activity. I brought it upstairs and warmed it to about 64 degrees and swirled. I looked inside a couple of days later and saw the ring and thought it was mold.
Now I have another problem, can I still lager it or should I just bottle.
I know the fermentation temperatures were too high for a lager, will it just be a sweet ale?
