I have a cheater's kit beer almost ready to bottle.(a 23 litre bag-in-box of wort-just add yeast). It's a wheat beer. I am wondering if anyone has any suggestion about flavoring it. Perhaps with berries or citrus. I know this is a pretty vaugue question. I hope I get lots of ideas from anyone and everyone!
 
You can look at the fruit beer area for more ideas, but 2-6 lbs of fruit in the secondary is the most common approach. Many people use Oregon Fruit purees. I'm planning on a blueberry hefeweizen this weekend. I'll rack half of the batch to a keg at 2 weeks and add blueberries in a bag to the rest and let it go for a week.
 
What about right before bottling? I have a few days left before I have to bottle it. Is there any way to make a nice flavored beer at this stage?
