    I'm making a northern brown ale tomorrow and recipe calls for 2 lbs of Dark brown sugar (for 10 gallons). Does it matter when I add it as long as it's 15 mins. or so before end of boil, or should I add it to BK while sparging?
    Thanks, RK

    I'd say end of boil and stir well, no clumps.

    +1 It only needs a minute or so to dissolve

    I'd add it to the fermenter as fermentation slows down. Dissolve in boiling water, cool and add.
