i forgot to take the final gravity reading before adding the priming corn sugar to my 5 gallon batch of american amber ale. how much could the priming sugar affect the gravity reading once i mixed the sugar in?

If you brewed an extract batch, just substract 3/4 of the O.G. ie: 1.080 ferments down to 1.020. A quarter of DME is non-fermentable.
This isn't balls-on exact, but it'll do in a pinch, assuming you didn't add adjuncts.

Well i do believe that the gravity reading is in indication of the amount of sugar in your brew and therefore the alcohol producing capability of it, therefore if you add more sugar it will raise the gravity. As for how much it raises it, well that depends on how much you put in.
