Brewers best Pacific Coast Ipa kit. A week later I was transcribing my notes into a binder and I realized I didn't use the included 1lb of corn sugar in my kit. Tell me what this means.
This wasn't for bottling, it was supposed to be part of the boil.
Tell me what adding cause sugar as opposed to to corn sugar would net me. I'm a ways away from corn sugar and I threw away what I had.
This all came from me thinking the included corn sugar was for bottling. I intend to keg so I thought it wasn't a necessity. Dangit.

If it's only been a week you can add it to the fermenter now. Honestly you can pour it in dry, but if you really want to, you can boil it in a small amount of water, let it cool, then add it. This way you make sure to kill any bugs, this is what I would do.
Adding sugar straight to the fermenter, although not common, can be done to help restart a stalled fermentation and even achieve a lower FG by keeping the yeast active and interested.
