Interesting - was it disgusting because it wasn't carbonated properly or because it wasn't finished lagering and had a few off flavours?
Pity about missing the finings out - but the taste is what matters ultimately! Think i'm gonna go down your route, less the lagering part outside - the bottle might get a few weeks in the fridge tho - so a bit of a pseudo lager I guess..

Yeah I think the bad taste was the lack of carbonation and unfermented priming sugar.
