I am planning on using brown sugar, date sugar some candi sugar and maybe polincillo (sp?) in a Belgian 10. I would like to be as close to 1.1 without going over. Can anyone tell me what I can expect from different sugars in terms of the gravity they contribute? Especially date and polincillo as Beersmith has no listing for these. Thanks!
 
The differences are so small that a homebrewer doesn't need to worry about them.

Not really.

Most "dry sugars" like cane, corn, brown, turbinado have 46 ppg.
Honey usually has 42 ppg.
"Liquid" sugars like molasses and D-45 or D-180 have 36 ppg.
