Guys after some advice. I currently have biab European lager in the primary fv that has had 4 days diacetyl rest at 16 deg cel. I am going to bottle it but don't know whether I should now crash cool it for a couple days and then transfer it to my bottling bucket before bottling and carbonating for two weeks and then lagering at 1 deg OR transfer to a 2nd fv and lagering it for a month before bottling and then carbonating it in the bottles at carbonating temp.

Hope this makes sense but it's my first biab lager and has gone great so far with the wlp830 yeast so I don't want to get the different stages wrong.
The beer was fermented at 9 deg c and I have a fermenting fridge so temp control is not an issue.

Thanks for your help
