Brewing: Quick help needed

[iXanadu]

Thanks in advance guys (and gals).

I'm brewing https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f69/tits-up-imperial-ipa-award-winner-92914/ and the wort has just now cooled to 70º. I was starting to hydrate the yeast when I noticed the bag of corn sugar on the counter, I forgot to add it to the last 5 min of the boil.

Can/Should I:

Pull a quart of wort and boil up the sugar for 5-10min, cool and add it to the wort?

Boil up sugar in a pint or so of water, cool it and add it?

Thanks for the help.

You can add it at any time, but it'd probably dissolve better if you boiled it in a pint of water. Cool it, then add to your fermenter. It'll cool fast in a little ice bath.

Either will work. Pull some wort so your target gravity comes out according to the numbers.

Thanks everyone. I ended up boiling it up in a pint of water.

I wouldn't have even bothered to cool it. A pint of boiling water added to 5 gallons of wort isn't going to make any real difference.
