Since I was using old (dry, S-23) yeast, I fermented for 4 days warm,
about 65*. I racked into a carboy and moved it to my basement, where
it's been about 55-60* for the past week. Should I rack it again before
moving it outside to the fridge (35-40*)?

I made a Grolsch clone from a kit put together by my LHBS. They said to
rack a week after fermentation subsided, which it did & I did. I racked to a
corny keg & let it sit for about 8 weeks in the lagerhaus (fridge). Folks
said it turned out fine & I thought it was pretty good too! I did, however,
keep the lager temp in the low 50's as recommended by the LHBS. 35-40 may be
a tad low for your yeast to do its thing. But, I've only done 1 lager ,
"under supervision" so I'm not an expert by any means. YMMV. HTH, regards,
