new brewwer here but ill have a stab. I think all the sugar would have been used by the yeast by now.
From what i know one only disolves the sugar and boils it for sanitaion purposes. If your beer is not infected i'd guess your ok.

Over three weeks the yeast will have consumed all the sugar, your worry should be how clean was the sugar. General rule of thumb is to boil the sugar in water 1st, let it cool with a cover on and then add to keg then add your beer. i am assuming you left behind all the gunk in the bottom of the FV? How was the 1st pint then? and welcome to the site.
