I am going to brew my 5th beer on monday. I am brewing the Riptide Red Mr. Beer offers. So far all of the beers I have brewed had a suggeested conditioning time rather than a suggested lagering time as this beer does!I am a little confused on what the difference is on lagering and conditioning! I plan on fermenting for the 2 full weeks. Then bottling/carbonating for two weeks at around 65 degrees in a dark place. Now here is where im confused. What do I do different here with the lagering rather than conditioning?

In this case, nothing.
The terms are sometimes interchanged.

yup... this one sounds like a 2-2-4... 2 weeks fermenting, 2 weeks carbonating, then in the fridge for four weeks. all is well.
