Brewed yesterday in a little bit of a rush. Woke up this morning to realize that I had forgotten to take the OG of my wort... Would not be a problem if I had used ingredient that I knew the standard gravity points for..Sadly I used a little backstrap molasses and some light brown sugar (Did not have enough molasses so i figured brown sugar is close to the same thing). Just kinda hoping someone out there happens to know how much molasses and light brown sugar effect the OG. Anyway any help would be greatly appreciated.
I hope it would not have changed it to much as I only used 1/4cup Light brown sugar and 3/4cup mollasses. But now that I realize I dont know the gravity points on them I am kinda worried.
 
3/4 cup of molasses should have added about .004 to 5 gallons of wort.

1/4 cup of light brown sugar, .001.

This is assuming blackstrap molasses is about the same as "normal" molasses, and that BeerSmith and this web page are correct.
