I brewed a bock a couple weeks ago. And I'm wondering how it is progressing. It still bubbles from time to time from the airlock (5g carboy).

One thing I recently noticed, which is why i'm concerned, is that bock's need to ferment at cooler temperatures. Mine has been at a constant 60-62, which is a low ale temp. How will this affect the output.

What yeast strain did you use?

according to my kit, it was either Wyeast Bohemian lager #2124 or Wyesast Euro Ale #1338; i'm sure those make a big difference

I believe it was the ale yeast, however I don't really remember. I think the lady at my LHBS said that it was harder to screw up if i used it, but again, I don't really remember.:eek:
 
Any ideas?

It was in primary for 7 days and its been in secondary now for about 9. I need to keg it, but I'm not sure what the deal is or if there is a way for me to 'save' it. I called the LHBS and they said they sold me the Wyeast #1338 the euro ale.
 
I doubt you need to save it. It may not be as clean a lager as you may have hoped, at those temperatures, but I can't imagine the fermentation temperature would lead to beer you would spit out onto your Mother.
