I had a Coppers Pale Ale in primary fermentation going for 21 days at 52F. I neglected to take a Gravity reading and just started to transfer to secondary. As I was racking I noticed a lot of bubbles still and realized my mistake. Fermentation was not complete. I verified with a gravity check of just 1.020. Its now sitting in secondary. What are my options? I have a packet of dry yeast that I did not use. Or should I bring the temp up to Ale temps and try to get the most out of the yeast that was in suspension?

Thanks in advance!!
 
Update: I brought the temp up to 60 and Ive got a foamy krausen in the carboy and its bubbling every 15 seconds. Beer sure is tolerant of screwups!
