My bock beer made from a kit from my LHBS. 76 seems rediculously high but it seems to be doing well!

if it is a true bock that is rediculously high being that it should be fermented with a lager yeast

Yeah, I don't have the capacity to ferment lagers so its a bock recipe with an ale yeast as provided by my LHBS. I realize its not a true bock but its as close as I'm going to get until I have the capacity to lager.

It'll have to sit at least 9 more hours since I'm at work...

Closest you'll get to a bock with an ale yeast is using a clean yeast as cold as possible. At 76 you're going to a get a lot of fruity esters.

Would have been nice if they would have told me that. Oh well, it's beer, right. :-/

Don't worry to much man. Cool it down when you get home. You may have created something totally unique and awesome. I had a similar situation and my beer still tasted ok. Might not be what you were shooting for though. RDWHAHB
