Emergency Carb boost??

[Emanresu]

Later today, there is an Oktoberfest going on and a homebrewing competition! We had our Oktoberfest ready, well, almost ready, but the bottles we had didn't condition long enough for them to get carbonated.

I did have a back up plan since we also kegged part of it. I force carbonated it a couple of nights ago but i didn't realize i had a leak in one of my hoses....

...after discovering an empty keg and sticky kegerator, i had to rely on the bottles, which were a disappointment....

....is it a good idea to transfer the bottles back to the keg, shoot with carbonation, there is less than a gallon, 96 oz., and then pour back to the bottles or a growler??

The bottles are "alright" but can be better...

How much time do you actually have before the event?

Check me on this, but don't they do commercial beer with adding CO2 to the bottles and then filling them?

Honestly if it is not ready to go now then there is nothing you can do and be proud of what you entered. You can poor it into the keg and carb it up but You will end up with some co2 bite.
