I have a Oktoberfest Lager to bottle.  Its been in the frig at 38 degrees in a secondary for 3 months.  Should I let the secondary get to room temp before I bottle?  I will add priming sugar when bottling.

Thanks for any suggestions!!
 
There's no need to warm the lager. Carbonation will take longer that way (maybe as long as a month), but heck Oktoberfests are Marzens in spring!

If you do warm the beer for faster carbonation, keep it at or below 55 F to avoid introducing any short term yeast signatures.
