sorry to be a pest

im currently bottling, my lager is getting a foamy head when bottling

Is this normal, im a bit concerned

Just the co2 coming out as you transfer. You are maybe a bit warm. Should be fine though.

reet so when bottling

my reading was constant for 2 days and nothing much has happened lately

just concerned as never done a lager and dont want bottle bombs

You are putting the syphon tube right to the bottom of the bottle arent you?

You need to avoid splashing during and post ferment in order not to introduce oxygen, which will oxidise and give off flavours.

Apply Homebrew Rule Number 2. Don't Worry. :
