Hello. Im a relatively new homebrewer and for my next batch I want to try to make a barleywine. I heard that barleywines need to condition for a long time so Im planning on trying to make a half batch. The recipe I wanted to try called for 2 packets of champagne yeast for a 5 gallon batch. If I am making a 2.5 gallon batch would I just use one packet of champagne yeast? Also I am going to buy a 3 gallon carboy for secondary fermentation. Could I use a 5 gallon bucket for the primary fermentation? Thanks
