I've currently got a (Bulldog) chocolate stout in the fermenting vessel and would love to give it a twist. I've not experimented with kits before, having only made a couple previously. I've been told that ethanol based flavour extracts like those you get for baking would work by putting a couple of teaspoons straight into the fv before bottling, other advice is to late hop with citra (or cascade) leaf or pellets and this will give it a similar but fresher citrus twist and yet another suggestion is to soak dried orange peel or split vanilla pods in vodka and then add before bottling. Has anyone tried anything similar to get Orange and/or Vanilla flavours in their beer. Any ideas tips gratefully welcomed as I am keen to experiment with this brew but don't wanna mess it up :-)
