Sorry to ask this; I know it's been asked many times before, but when I tried to search for it, the search function rejected most of my terms as "too common". Can anyone tell me how much sugar is needed to raise to gravity of 1 gallon from 1.000 to 1.010?

Thanks
 
In another thread, somebody said: 1kg sugar raises the gravity of 1 ltr water by 360 degs.

You have 4.5ltr, and you want 10degrees... Um...

Try 125gm
 
Thankyou :) I'm doing a coffee liquer type thing, and I need to feed it til the yeast dies. Time for the first addition.
 
Using fermcalc with initial SG of 1.000 and target of 1.010 and initial volume of 1 Uk Gallon and it gave me 19 grams. But that is just being PITA accurate

Spot on, 100g in the litre gives 36 points or 1.036

10 points therefore requires 28g. Adding sugar to a volume gives you a slightly greater volume, half a pint per pound, but I can't be bothered to convert that to metric right now so I won't split hairs about it.
