should i add maple extract to the secondary as well? i was also considering doing this with a light ale too, im thinking the adjunct flavors might be more apparent in a light ale.

was considering brewing a mexican cerveza style beer and adding 12.5 oz of light agave nectar to boil, has anyone had expirience doing this? how would it turn out, what should i expect?
