I'm interested to know who here has bottle conditioned a lager before. I'm an extract brewer and package soley in bottles and I have never done a lager before. I'm planning on brewing a Marzen in a week or so and will be bottling it once fermentation is complete (actually I usually leave my beers for about a week after fermentation is complete).
Now I know that lagers improve with a long lagering period, but I have doubts over whether the bottles will carbonate at such low temperatures. Should I bottle condition at fermentation temperature, or warmer, then lager? Or vice-versa? Any advice would be much appreciated!
