Can you re-pitch yeast to an already carbonated beer?

Gravity88 said:

I tried liquid yeast for the fist time on a lager I was doing but after the active fermentation was over, I checked the alcohol and it was only at 2%.. I needed my fermenter so I kegged it and pressurized. It was very belgiany and bannanay so I left it alone. So I tried it today ( 3 months afterward) and it's not a sour as it was but still too sweet and also..only 2%...
Sorry for the long intro but my question..

Can I transfer it back to a fermenter, pitch yeast and actually have it work out?

Thanks.

The starting gravity was 1.050 and the reading after fermentation stopped was 1.030, soo, ends up being about 2.9% or so.

Does that change anything?

Well either way, I put everything back in the fermenter and brewed up a 1 gallon batch of pretty much the same ingredients as I had with the original and added it to the fermenter (mostly to get some extra sugar in there). Even though I had gone with a liquid lager yeast, I didn't have any on hand, so I went with a dry safale I had. Less than 24 hrs later we have action.

We'll see what happens with the flavors this time around, but at least it will have alcohol..
