More flavour to a kit?

[ronnietucke]

I'm going to give this a bash:

I tried the Strawberry & Lime one a while back and it came out OK, but there wasn't much strawberry taste.

Is there a way I can add peach/passion fruit flavouring to this? If so, what type, and how much should I add?

They do peach as well

Yeah. That's a good idea. Any idea how much would be required for a 20L batch?
Is there anything that an additive like this should (or NOT) have?

All of it. Avoid things with preservatives, like sulfites or potassium sorbate.

Cool. Will do.
So if I wanted to add Peach and Passion Fruit, should I add a full 1KG of each (to the 20L) or add 0.5KG of each?
Thanks for the advice!

Personally, I would, based on the fact that a buddy did a Mango NEIPA with 1.7kg of mango puree and it ended up with a distinct but far from overpowering mango flavour. Will be good if you can cold crash it and help compact the pulp when its finished.

Should I add the puree before, or after, fermentation?

As you like, but some of the aroma might get lost if you put it in right at the start. I'd wait 2-5 days until the main fermentation is well and truely under way and perhaps slowing a bit before adding it.
