My Trappist Tripel has finally finished fermenting and it is in the fridge cold crashing. I will bottle it in a couple of days. I am planing to brew an American Pale Ale next. I am wondering if pitching the APA on the Wyeast 3787 cake from the Tripel would be advisable.
APA on Wyeast 3787 cake?

Sounds more like it'd be a BPA than an APA but you'll probably be fine.
Those yeast are probably pretty stressed after fermenting a tripel so you'd be better off rinsing them to separate out the guys that are dead/inactive (along with trub) but I'd think you'll be OK for another batch as is.

Probably not a great idea; although it'll make beer.
- It won't be an APA because that yeast throws a lot of phenols and esthers. That yeast will have a degree of attenuation that is too much for an APA (plus you're dramatically over pitching).
- It is generally not a good idea to reuse yeast from a high gravity beer (this yeast is likely stressed out)
