What temperature to bottle a lager?

[Shawn3997]

Will it hurt my lager any if I bring it in and let it come to room temperature before I start bottling? That way I'll be able to know what temperature it's at when calculating how much sugar to add to prime. Otherwise it would just be a guess wouldn't it?

Right now it's at about 64° F in my fridge.

That is a normal process. If it has already fermented out, you can have it at room temp to carb, then lager it a few weeks.

Those priming calculators need to know the highest temperature the beer got to after fermentation was done. What you are suggesting would work, but personally I just guess and it doesn't make a huge difference if you are a couple of degrees off.
