That's what I thought. Thanks guys.
Sure you can, why not? You know how much sugar you added, the math is straightforward.
A pound of sugar adds 44 gravity points to 1 gallon. Divided by 5 gallons equals 8.8 points; times 5/16 if you added 5 ounces instead of one pound, = 2.76 or ~~ 3 points or .003 added to the gravity. So subtract .003 from the reading, you got your FG.
