How slow is Wyeast Belgian Ale 1214?

Thanks for the reply, @Kent88. I've never done that before, should I just throw it into the fermentor as soon as possible?

Update: As of this weekend, primary fermentation has started but its moving very slowly. In 2 days it went from 1.060 to 1.050. I'm hoping it cleans up quick because I still need to condition it, force carb it, and have it ready for Easter dinner. My target FG is about 1.012-1.014. Any tips on accelerating fermentation?

I can't provide the link, but I think I remember a podcast from The Brewing Network where they discuss adding another yeast to restart fermentation. They recommended making a starter to wake the new yeast up before it gets added to the fermenter. Just a few hours in a starter should be all you need to wake the yeast up for that.
