Just about to bottle my 1st lager. I have a couple of questions:

1. I am going to assume I let this bad boy come to room temp before I bottle. Does this make sense? It's at 39 degrees.... :)
2. Standard amount of priming sugar, or anything weird have to happen?
3. It had some bubble activity when I pulled it. I moved it a bit and it bubbled aboout 10 times then stopped. It was in primary for 2 weeks, secondary for a week, had a 3 day rest, and then lagered for 3 weeks. I'd have to assume if there was anything left for the yeast to eat, it would be a miracle. YES I will take a gravity reading but I am just curious if this is normal to see or not.

Otherwise, it looks great. Any tips,etc appreciated. Otherwise to bottle it goes!
 
No need to bring it to room temp before bottling, but do re-calculate your priming sugar quantity to the proper temp. As you can see, it's already got some CO2 in it from being cold.
