LorAnn Candy Oils

Picked up a large bottle of the strawberry oil, and it's (and many of their flavours) are extracts (alcohol based) not oil based.

Hoping to try it out in a strawberry wheat and a hooch brew which all the kids are calling hard seltzer.

flavoring syrups for coffee work good too. just go easy and taste, they can be sweet.

I'm wondering if, even not being water soluble, these would infuse a little better if added during the boil, say for the last 5 minutes or so. Thoughts?

possibly, try it and let us know

I would think the flavour would get scrubbed out by the volatile oils that make up the flavouring suspended in the alcohol boiling off.

But you never know, my blueberry beers taste the best with the berries in the boil in secondary, which makes no sense, so this could be the same
