Siphoning off of Fruit

[bmberger21]

I will be siphoning my first sour that I added about 5 lbs of muscadine grapes to. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on siphoning off of fruit to avoid getting any debris in the keg. Also, I do not plan on cold crashing.

fwiw, I rubber-band a square of nylon mesh to my racking tube with a large stainless steel washer inside to keep random hop fragments out of my kegs. The washer keeps the mesh from collapsing or being sucked up the dip tube. Dunk the whole thing in my Star San reservoir and it's good to go.



Cheers!

Nice day_tripper. Where do you find this nylon mesh?

Just buy a paint strainer bag at a hardware store. Cut it up.
