Kolsch question

Hi...Bit of a silly question but am a little confused
When lagering what do people do...is it a case of bottling then letting it carb up at say 18 degrees then putting the bottles in the cold for the lagering process?

Yes you are right. Lagering is just extended conditioning at a low temperature. So you can do it before it after carbonation, but after will save you a bit of time.
