I aged a barleywine in a secondary for 7 months before. I bottled with no extra yeast. It carb'd fine within 6 months.
Longest time in the secondary for your ales?

I always let the batch sit in the primary for a week *sometimes 5 days*. I only use the secondary if it is a darker or higher % Alc beer. I have yet to have the patience to let a beer sit for a month or longer. That's like bringing Cindy Crawford home and telling her you'd like to talk over a cup of tea.
The Oatmeal Stout I have right now is just going to sit in the primary for 2 weeks.

How do you go about adding the yeast before bottling.... Just pour 1/4-1/2 packet to bottling bucket with priming sugar and bottle??? I am thinking about Hydrating yeast, adding it to the carboy..... Letting it sit for 1-2 hours and racking to bottling bucket.... Hoping to mix it without stirring....
