Can you re-carbonate a bottled brew?

[pozmantv]

I bottled a batch of of Amber ale around 4 days ago.

I have used a teaspoon of sugar per 640ml bottle to prime instead of the usual two in error.

I am now concerned about creating a batch of near flat beer.

Some bottles are already showing condensation which is good, however some are not.

So the question is, can I open the ones that aren't and add sugar and then recap them to help carbonate the beer?

Thanks in advance, cheers.

Leave them, they will carb up over time, 6 weeks is a good length of time to fully see how they are.

Yes you can but like stu says - wait a bit and see if you really need to.

Sweet thanks. There for Christmas so will condition now for 6 weeks, if it works I'll post the recipe as its my own.

Cheers.
