Is there a calculator or formula out there to figure out how much sugar is needed to bring your starting SG to where you need it. Ei: if you have a starting SG of 1.035 and you want to bring it up to 1.090 how much sugar do you need?
 
How much sugar should be added to 6 gal. juice when hydrometer measures 0 and I want to a med. dry wine
 
Rule of thumb is one cup of sugar will raise sg .018 per gallon.
 
these figures are for uk gallons and added white sugar :-

1 kg = approx. 14.6%
1/2 kg = approx. 7.3%

therfor for 5 gallons

1 kg = 2.95%
1/2kg = 1.48%

from these figures you can roughly guess what u need
