What temp for bottling Lagers?

I did a search and found nothing on this topic.

At what temp do I store my Lager after bottling? Since I fermented at 50 degrees for the Lager yeast do I do the same to get the carbonation?

I store mine in the closet at room temp. at least 21 days for carbing. Once it's carbed to your liking you can put them in the fridge. My room temp. is about 74-75F.

Yup, give it a few weeks to carbonate prior and then move them to cold storage. If you don't have room for all of the beer in the cold, set up a rotation so you can have the beers chilled for a while prior to drinking them. I've only kegged lagers, and those definitely have benefited from at least a month in cold storage.
