Gotta LOVE Beer makin' stuff!

You could either go back to your previous chiller and use your CF on your next batch, or your could strain out the fruit after the boil, CF chill and then add the fruit back into your fermenter - just need to be extra careful on handling the extra steps and not contaminate the batch. Good luck.
