I would rack it and leave it in the secondary fermenter for another week. Lagers do usually need to be racked

And wack it in the fridge after the week in secondary for another month or so before bottling. You'll find the beer should clear nicely.

Racking is transfering the beer into another fermenter leaving the sedinment behind in the first one, you'll need a length of food grade tube for this, and try not to let the wort splash around. This is easily avoided by letting it swirl around in a circular motion when transfering to the secondary fermenter

I just want to know if it was Cumulus or a Nimbus causing the problem.
