| I have no idea what system you're using but it sounds to me like you're doing a dyacetyl rest for the 2 days then dropping the temp for the remainder of your fermentation. Next will be your lagering stage. This can take weeks or months at just above freezing temps. I normally force carbonate the last week or so of the lagering phase. Hope that helps.
Good luck,
Wild
