It is what feeds the yeast to create natural carbonation in the bottle (or keg). Boil 3/4 cup corn sugar (NOT table sugar) with about 1 cup water (to sterilize it), and add it to 5 gallons of beer once you've moved it to a bottling bucket. Mix it in, and you should be AOK.

When you are ready to rack the beer into your bottling bucket, first boil some water (a cup or 2 should be enough) and add your priming sugar to this. Then pour this into your bottling bucket first, then rack the brew onto the priming sugar, then bottle. Priming sugar is added at bottling time to carbonate the beer during bottle conditioning.
