Adding table sugar after brewing?

[delzep]

Meant to add some table sugar to a brew I did today but like an eejit I've just realised I forgot about it. Would it be OKto boil it with a couple hundred ml of water and add it once it's cooled?

[LordEoin]

yeah, that's fine.
You'll have to guesstimate OG but no problem

I was 8 points low on my og ad couldn't figure out why. Made a cup of scald there and saw the sugar beside the kettlethat reminded me

[DEMPSEY]

I've heard adding the sugar to the fermenter is recommended sometimes, especially with more delicate yeast strains. Something to do with letting the yeast work for a while before giving them more simple sugars.

I've seen it recommended for bigger beers so you don't shock the yeast by dumping into a high gravity wort. Dogfish head 120 recipe I saw calls for suger additions every 2 days for a week or 2. Suppose it gets the cell count up and keeps them yeastiea going.

It was big Belgian styles I seen it recommended, some of those Belgian strains seem to be a bit temperamental. Its supposed to help them attenuate fully if you give the fermentation a day or too and then add the sugar or syrup.
