    I want to know how long I can do a secondary for and still be Able to bottle, I started my brew on the 20th it has been in secondary since the 31st, I would like to bulk prime the batch so I can have even carbonation throughout different size bottles, am I able to still bottle without having to add more yeast or will I need to throw some yeast in to be able to carbonate?

    It depends how long you are wanting it to sit in the secondary. I have had beer set in my secondary for well over a month and didn't add any yeast at bottling and my beer turned out fine.
