I have three 5 oz. bags of priming sugar that I've accumulated over the last few years of brewing. I now keg and don't need to prime anymore (unless I decide to prime in keg).

What would happen to an extract beer if I were to add the priming sugar to the initial boil? What will it do to the flavor?

Depends on the beer, but many recipes call for sugar additions. I generally like to add sugar after primary fermentation is winding down, instead of during the boil.

Adding more sugar will create more alcohol, so that alone will change the flavor a bit. It might also make the beer finish dryer than what you expected.
