First mistake...Can it be re-fermented

[Mr_Zee]

I used a clearing agent for the first time. It did a great job but without really thinking about it I primed a cask and then the bottles as well.

The result is a very sweet flat Ale.

My question is:

Could I tip it all back in a FV and add those lively little buggers again. Would it ferment the sugar out?

It is un-drinkable as it is anyway. :sick:

Given time it will condition . . . there is a low level of yeast present and it will take some time to get started.

If you are desperate, you could consider reseeding with yeast in the keg . . . 1 gram of yeast in 20+L of beer is more than enough.

did you take an hydrometer reading at the end of fermentation? priming sugars should not make the beer very sweet.
