Re-carbonating/priming

My bottled wheat beer has turned out a bit flat. Is it fair game to uncap the lot and re-prime it all with another dose of sugar or spray malt? Will that help carbonate it?

Cheers all,

Probably not. :( Did you give it at least one week in the 'warm' before you chilled it? If not then get them out of the fridge and leave them for a week or so and hope. If you did leave them in the warm, how warm are you serving them now? If they're straight out of the fridge and flat I would try taking one out and leaving it for 45-50 minutes before you pour it and see if that improves it. Failing all else I'd put it down to experience and either drink it flat or mix it with lemonade.
