Can't speak to skittles in secondary but I have done the skittle vodka, worked great for me (little dangerous though, chill it and it just tastes like skittle flavoured juice and its 40% abv). But hey, try it anyway, let us know how it turns out.

Hi, I started brewing a few months ago and have been lurking around the site for a while but only recently signed up, it's a great site. Are there any more brewers out there from the east coast?

I'm from the area (I assume you mean Fredricton, New Brunswick), have you tried asking at any of the local stores to see if they will order them in for you? I know the Wine Kitz in Saint John will.
