I've placed most of my fruit in the secondary, only once did I use a flavoring. The last time I made an apple beer I added the apples to secondary then instead of using priming sugar when I bottled I placed an apple slice in the bottle. Great taste and carbonation.

I've used that product before. I added the recomended amount and didn't have any apple flavor at all. Might try 3 oz. Like BobC says, I'm going to use real apples next time around.

the bottle is 4oz, would it hurt to just pour it into the secoendary fermenter i just changed everything to the carboy yesterday for 2 weeks.dont guess it could ruin it?

You might have better luck that way. I didn't do a secondary. I added it straight to the keg.
