effect of sugar additions post primary

Sometimes a lower FG can be had as well, but that is mainly due to the additional water added to create your sugar solution that was added back to the fermenter. You may get lucky and eat away a few more points, but most of the time like Reverse said, the sugar addition is only consumed increasing the ABV.

I’ll add the sugar directly.  Pour it in dry.  It ferments just fine, though you’d want to stagger your additions if you’re using a substantial amount.
