Any update as to how this turned out?

Thank you for the tips!

I've been studying this thread for the last few months, slowly upgrading my gear, and am excited to say I will be doing my first AG, BIAB session this week! Can't wait. Praying it goes well!

I had the same problem. I tried shaking the keg a few times to try to redistribute but in the end there was really nothing I could do. After the first few glasses or so you won't see it anymore.
