I am new to brewing, so bear with me. I have done a few batches with other people, but this is my first batch using my own equipment.
So last night I started an American Style Bock Recipe, but I inadvertently grabbed the wrong smack pack of yeast out of my fridge . I had already activated it, so I just decided to go with it since it had been sitting all day and was ready to pitch. So what I ended up with is a Bock style recipe with a package of Wyeast American Ale II yeast in it, instead of the Bavarian Lager yeast.
I am not sure what to do with this batch of beer. It has been happily fermenting in a bucket for about 12 hours at around 68 degrees in my closet. Do you think it would be okay to bottle in a 7-10 days when the primary fermentation is done, or do I need to maybe secondary ferment it?
If it helps, here's the info on the recipe. The recipe has chocolate malt, Crystal malt, Mt hood hops, and cascade hops to finish with. The Original Gravity was 1.065 right before i pitched the yeast.
Any help / ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.
