I brewed a doppelbock similar to that in BCS, and it is currently lagering in my kegerator (slightly on the warm side for a lager, but it'll have to do).
I think this beer will get better with time, so I plan to bottle it and let it condition for a while. I'm assuming I'll need to add a bit of yeast to kick start the carbonation process after 3 months of lagering.
Once I let it carb at fermentation temp for 3-4 weeks, can I age this beer in my cellar next to my ales (between 50-60 degrees)? Or do lagers *need* to be aged at lagering temps?
