    You can indeed use enhancers or any of the flavoured spraymalts at the barrelling stage to prime for secondary fermentation. Just use your chosen enhancer at the same rate in place of sugar, and see what you think to it. It can give better head retention on the brew, and being much finer dissolves more easily. As spraymalts are available in many styles, you can play around with them a bit and find the one you like best. This is sometimes easier to experiment with when bottling, as you can try a few bottles with one, a few with another, maybe a few with sugar, and compare the difference
