I was wondering if any one has got any tips on how to get some more carbonation into my beer after it comes out of the bottle. My problem is I took some bad advice and didn't put enough priming sugar in before bottling, the result very flat beer, I'm sure it would just feel and taste better if I could get it carbonated better.

If however you believe there was not enough sugar in the bottles, the only way we know of is to open them up and re-prime, but this is risky and you may create a problem and contaminate the batch, etc.
Carbonating at the time of drinking is the only other way we know, mixing with a carbonated drink would help, but is not ideal.
Try leaving them for longer, perhaps re-prime a few bottles with some more sugar and re-seal and see what they turn out like as an experiment, if it works then you could do the rest perhaps
Cheers.
It might be a long shot,but have you thought about trying a "Sonic Foamer".
I had one bought me for Christmas from America and it does work on low carbonated beer.I am pretty sure that you can now get one in the uk.It costs around £20-00.Try googling it.Could be worth a try?.

Not tried this myself, but we had a customer come in to the shop one day and he told us he uses a tiny sprinkle of salt. Apparently it brings it to life. Not tried this one though but let us know if you give it a go.
