Munsoned, How did it turn out ? With 1.016 into bottling did you get any issue with overcarbonation ?

Evan, Thanks a lot for your advise. The idea of using another yeast cake actually already crossed my mind (because I have read some of your posts on a stuck fermentation subject :) ). I currently have "Trappist" Ale fermenting in another bucket with While Labs WLP500 Trappist Ale yeast. Do you...
