If dumping it in dry works, then heating at 200F for x minutes would also work and might, just might, be safer.  You would not think it would be less safe, assuming you use a clean container and cover with foil to avoid something drifting in.

I'm about to put 2 lb. of unwashed, unsanitized chanterelle mushrooms into a batch of beer.  I've done it before and there have never been any problems.  If that works, putting unsanitized sugar into the fermenter will surely work.

Mushroom beer?  What kind of base beer is it?

I just dumped it in, dry and dirty.  If it gets infected, I'm inviting you all over to drink it.

I made a very nice triple that way last year.  No worries.

I love a sour, count me in!

I have added corn sugar at high krausen in several beers and have encountered no problems.  The first time was by accident (I forgot to add it to the boil and didn't want to dilute an already pretty light beer); thereafter it just became routine.

Really happy to come across this thread, just what I was looking for.  I brewed a triple planning to add sugar late to the fermenter.

Just how late should I go?  Now or wait a bit?

I'm 5 days in and my OG was 1.075, planning to add to get up to 1.090, which is 2 lbs. in 10 gallons.

I think now would be the best time.  I poured sugar directly into a Triple that had been fermenting for three days and it worked out great.

Agreed.  Sooner is better, IMO.  If I'm adding to the fermenter, I want to do it while the beer is at high krausen and definitely before it starts to floc out.

Me too. Adding later means the yeast has started to go into dormancy. It is strongest now.
