I have had in in the fridge for three months and ready to bottle soon. My question is do i take it out of the fridge and bring it up to 65 degrees or so for a day ot two before priming and bottling? Then do i let it carb around 65 or should i put itrigth back in the fridge for a month? Thanks in advance!

You can cold bottle it. In fact if you transfer it cold into the bottling bucket, you will typically transfer more clear beer. Once it's bottled, put it somewhere at 70ish to carb up. You can let it just naturally come up to room temp once you've bottled it. It will only take a day at most.

+1 It is perfectly fine to carb at ale temps. The little bit of action going on to create the CO2 shouldn't be enough to cause any off flavors.

Thank you both,
