What to do with the 5oz of bottling sugar in my kits?

[akthor]

My kits come with 5 oz of corn sugar for priming. I keg. So I was wondering can I just throw it in at the end of the wort boil? Will that just bump up the alcohol a little? Ill effects??? Any?

The boost you get will be negligable, but adding it won't hurt anything either. I'd add it after the boil though.

I'd just save it until you make something big that requires some simple sugar, like a Belgian or Barleywine.

Use it in your coffee. Make sugar cookies. Donate it to a homeless shelter.

Yes, boil it with 10 minutes left in the boil.

+1 on saving it up for when you brew something with a sugar addition in the recipe. I loves me some Belgian beers.

Save it and make Apfelwein

 

[ReverseApacheMaster]

Feed it to small children at night.

Make Mojitos and Caiparianhas with it.

Or sprinkle it the ground for the ants to eat.

Save it for one day when you don't use a kit, (buy separate ingredients) and you decide to bottle. Like perhaps that smoked porter you don't think will go as fast and you don't want to use up keg real estate...

Send them to me. My supply is getting low and I am a cheapskate:cross:

Save it and make Apfelwein

+1 to that

Pour it into your bosses gas tank (unless you like your boss).

You can prime in your keg and naturally carbonate it.

No I have CO2. I just don't want random 5 oz bags of dextrose lying around. I don't have a scale. Plus it's only .79 cents a pound for dextrose. I just adding it to my beer at the end of the boil. I'll just do that from now on.

When I remember to take them I give them to my LHBS who in turn gives them to people when they come in for them. Chuck really is a good guy about things like that.
