Did any froth up when adding more sugar?

I had this same problem. I was alway getting flat beer with PET bottles. I switched to glass but did try to fix the problem first. I'm not sure if this is correct (please let me know if I'm wrong) but take the lid off and add more sugar to correct it to what you Normaly have and then shake them...

Hey there guys I've just cracked open a bottle of brigalow apple cider that I bottled two weeks ago and it's not really the fizzy I'm using 330ml glass bottles each bottle I put in 1/2 teaspoon of normal house hold sugar. FG was 1000 as it said it would be on the instructions. It was put on a...
