Bottling a lager

[WaltG]

Ok. I keep reading different things. Here's what I did with a Boston Lager clone.

Primary for 10 days
Secondary for about 21 days
Bottled and primed with corn sugar and holding at 68 degrees.

In 2 weeks I plan on gradually bringing it down to about 34 degree over a few weeks.

I know people talk about lagering for months but I also hear it's not necessary and I honestly don't have the room.

Biggest question is do I let them carb at room temperature or lower?

If at room temperature how long before I lower temp.

Until this is done I can't brew and I'm getting antsy.

You can bottle condition at your fermentation temps or higher. If you do lower temps expect it to take longer than conditioning an ale.

I've only bottled one true lager and I did it at room temp but I remember researching the exact same thing.
