Tess and Mark Samskjefcnksjdhfgkvbnjsdhfsky, in Clone Brews, recommend "adding an additional dose of yeast 3-4 days before bottling" high-gravity beers that have been in extended secondary.
Has anyone done this? I just racked my tripel, and I have plenty of harvested yeast. I'm not exactly sure how much a "dose" is--I'm guessing about the amount that comes in a WL vial.
I certainly wouldn't want to agitate the carboy too much: it seems like most of the yeast would just fall quickly to the bottom if you don't, though.
I'd like to try this--they say it helps carbonation, and that's important in a tripel.
