When I bottled a wheat beer that I recently made I mistakenly only added 1/4 cup of priming sugar and then went through the arduous process of bottling all of the beer. It's been a couple of weeks now and I have very little carbonation and pinpointed the issue. My LHBS suggested I pour all of my bottles back in to the bottling bucket and add the extra priming sugar, clean and sanitize all of the bottles, and re-do it.

Does anyone have any different ideas? I used 12's , 22's, and 64's.
 
Buy a bag of Carb Drops, remove the caps, add drops, re-cap. Should be very cold before adding to minimize foaming.
