About two pounds, unless you want a beer with real kick. Then you add a bit more.
Since this is in the Bottling/Kegging forum, I guess you are looking to prime? You can read about it here, there is a link at the bottom to get you to a table with volumes CO2 and how much sucrose (cane sugar) you will need. The amounts listed are for 19L (5 gallons) if you are using less they need to be adjusted.

Sorry for the smarta$$ reply, Scrappy. I though this was another 'teenager making hooch in his parent's basement' thread. That, and I wanted to see what would happen with ten pounds of sugar in five gallons of water. :rockin:

4 oz is usually recommended for 5 gal, but if you divide 4 by 5 (4/5) =.8 oz per gal.
4*.8=3.2 oz
2.5*.8=2 oz
4*.8=3.2 oz
2.5*.8=2 oz
