Pope's Golden Strong Question

[Old Nick]

I'm brewing up Jamil's golden strong recipe on New Year's day and I'm curious about the addition of the 3 pounds of cane sugar...

At what point should I be adding this sugar? At 90 min, 60min? Is there any benefit to late addition?

Thoughts?

Cheers,

When I add any sugars to the boil it's usually at the last 10 minutes. However, I prefer to add my sugars after the 2nd, or 3rd day during primary fermentation. I will heat up the sugars to 160F to dissolve and pasteurize it, then feed it to the beer for a day or two.
the benefit to adding the sugars late in the boil, is better hop utilization. Also, by adding the simple sugars after the 2nd, or 3rd day, the yeast will have consumed the maltose first, rather than the sucrose. This should insure a more complete fermentation.

I've also heard of adding the sugar in shifts, like 1 pound on day 2, 1 pound on day 3 and the third pound on day 4. For the same reasons hotrod mentions. Of course you'd want to pasteurize the sugar before adding it.
