Can lagering occur after bottle conditioning

[klaggy]

I have a german alt in the early stages of fermentation and I'm curious about bottling and condition with sugar and then off to lager in the bottles for the 5 weeks?
Or am I wishful

I suppose I'm asking if it would ok go ahead do bottle conditioning for the 2 weeks or so then off too lager for 5 weeks in 36-40*f?

Absolutely. Once it's carbed up, you can lager in the bottle without any problem at all. Many people do that if they can't lager in a fermenter.

Oh darn, now to decide which is better - lager secondary in the fridge, then add a bit of yeast to bottle condition, or bottle condition, then lager in bottles. Which would work best for a Pilsner?
