OK, thank you everyone for your help on this. One last question of clarification: When it finally finishes at room temperature and I bottle, should I still pitch a packet of dry ale yeast in to help with carbonation? It seems since it is so active now I might not need to add the extra...

So it's been about 12 hours with the lager now at room temperature and SG has dropped to about 1.010. The activity has slowed but is still more than what I would expect to see. Is this normal for a lager or is it possible that this is actually CO2 coming out of solution? Still trying to...

So fermentation should be completely done before dropping to 32-34F? I was under the assumption that it was still fermenting at the lagering temperature and that's why it stayed there for so long. So really I should take my hydrometer readings after the first two weeks... Thanks!

I guess it's a possibility that it went dormant. I did see some activity but never anything like I'm used to seeing. I figured that was expected for a lager since it was at colder temps and would have to ferment longer. Now that I think about it, when I took it out of the colder...

Hi. I'm doing a lager for the first time and think I messed something up. I'm trying to recover without losing the batch. I brewed this batch on 10/12/08 and kept it in the primary fermentor for 2 weeks at 50F. I then moved over to the secondary and stored at 33F, this was on 10/26/08. So...
