Stirred up yeast in primary -- how long to settle?

[PhilOssiferzStone]

Long story short, I'm brewing with honey for the first time (2.5 lbs. of it along with 7.5 lbs. DME in a 6-gallon batch, been 5 weeks now), and wanted to make certain it was fermented out before bottling. So I gently stirred it up with a sanitized spoon. How long should I wait for the yeast sediment to re-settle before I bottle it?

a day or more. cold weather helps. stick it outside at night if it's cold where you live.

It's in a converted chest freezer, snoozing comfortably at 68 degrees.

Also.... at risk of derailing my own thread... the sonofagun is indeed still bubbling once a minute or so. After FIVE WEEKS. I'm using WLP 500 Trappist yeast, and there was plenty in the Coke bottle I had it stored in from my last Trippel. Time to do a gravity measurement just to make sure, and another this weekend?
