Here's my dilemma.

The beer is a dubbel, my first biggish Belgian. Wyeast 3787, 1.072->1.010, 85.5% app. attenuation~8.1% ABV. Three weeks in the fermenter.

I concerned about poor bottle carbonation, as is the reputation with this yeast. I have a pack of Safbrew T-58 to add fresh yeast, but the LHBS put the bug in my mind that it may ferment it out more and I'll have explosions. If I had champagne bottles and cages, I wouldn't care, but all I have is standard brown bottles.

Should I re-yeast it or am I just being noid?

Thanks in advance.

I think it would be fine. I've only used 3787 once and didn't have problems, but I tend to use WLP 530 and it works just fine for bottle conditioning.
