Did I screw up when lagering?

[jota]

Hey guys,

I made a German Kolsch (Itsok from Joy), and did 1 week in primary, 4 weeks in secondary (from 50-60) and 2.5 weeks in the bottle (I kept the bottles at 45-55). Its hardly carbed at all unfortunately. Did I lager in secondary too long? Should i have not let them sit in the bottles that cold? Is my yeast dead? Its drinkable, but i would like it more carbed, should i shake it up?

Give the bottles a rouse and move them somewhere warmer.

Bottle carbonation typically takes a good three weeks at around room temperature. At lager fermentation temps, it could take about forever.
