I'm planning on bottling an 18% barleywine in the near future. It was fermernted with WLP007 and finished off with WLP099. The OG was 1.150 and the FG is 1.019. It has been bulk aging for 4 months, 3 of those on oak cubes.

I don't want to take a chance with this guy not carbing properly so I was thinking of using champagne yeast. I'm thinking of adding the yeast to the secondary for a day or two to ferment any extra if it would like, and to avoid unplanned bottle fermentation. I'll then add priming sugar and bottle. Does this sound like a descent plan? I've searched and can find where people ask about doing this but I haven't found any follow through.
Thanks in advance!
