Adding yeast to bottles

[HopOnHops]

So i have a barleywine that i made. Finished at 1.036 at 12% abv. I was thinking instead of adding sugar to prime the bottles could i just add some champagne yeast to carbonate and drive the FG lower? Any advice on how much yeast to add to 4 gallons?

Don't do this. If you want to add champagne yeast to dry it out, you have to do it in primary/secondary. NOT in the bottles. That would almost certainly result in bottle bombs.
