When to do hydrometer reading for og with brewing suger.?

[Jamesman]

Hi everyone, I'm brewing the bosses boss tomorrow from dark rock brewing. It says in the instructions cool the Wort to the temperature for the yeast supplied then add 1kg of brewing suger. Do I do the hydrometer reading for my og after putting the suger in or before? Thanks for your help. Cheers.

You would take the reading after adding (and dissolving) the sugar. It is measuring rhe density of the wort to calculate how much sugar is in the solution. The sugar is what's converted to alcohol by the yeast so it's important to know how much there is!

You could also use a calculator to see how much the kg of sugar you added to the x liters of wort would increase the specific gravity
