Would i need to do anything to the elderflower if i put it in the keg? would you recommend doing this or not?

so how did the beer taste? was it something like what you were after but with a strong elderflower taste or did it ruin the beer?

I'm after a badger type brew for subtlety of elderflower flavour.
I added the elderflower to the end of the boil as per the recipe I was following. The beer does have a strong elderflower taste rather than a subtle backdrop which would be better. As I mentioned earlier I'm hoping maturation will tame down the elderflower influences.
Dan!
