If it were me I would add some dme or lme to prime a keg. Let the beer carbonate and condition in there and the brett should start to give more of a flavor contribution. Brett in primary can be quite neutral in my experience. It will give flavors over time though. What brett is it?

The primary Brett was the WLP Brett Brux strain, and the second was the Wyeast Brux.

I ended up racking the beer into a Secondary, adding 8oz Maltodextrin and the pitching a pack of Wyeast Brett Brux. I am going to give it six months in the secondary and then see how it tastes.

Six months might be a little bit long with that much oxygen exposure. Did you take a gravity reading after you added maltodextrin? You can let the beer develop in the bottle or keg. In fact I think you get better flavors from brett conditioning in a pressure environment.

I did not take a gravity sample, I will taste the beer and see what I think.

If you are going to take a sample to taste I would use the sample to take a gravity reading. Do you keg or bottle and which do you want to do with this beer

I will definitely take a gravity sample when I take a taste. I haven't decided if I'm going to keg or bottle. I'm leaning towards bottling but I would love your advise.

It depends how much work you want to do. Personally I think bottle conditioned beers with brett develop more complex flavors. I have had good results with kegging also plus you have more control over carbonation.
