Do we put the brown sugar in at the end , after the aroma hops and just dissolve it and go right to cooling?

.8 lbs Brown Sugar, Dark (98.5 EBC

One week of fermenting?
Put it in a secondary for a few weeks?

How much sugar should we use prior to bottling?

Thanks for any help.
 
I would add the brown sugar with 15 minutes left in the boil. For racking, let it go about 2 weeks or so in primary, then rack to secondary for a few weels. For bottling, I would add about 2/3 cup corn sugar. Make sure your gravity reading is constant over about 3-4 days before you bottle. Good luck.
