Question regarding bottling from a keg after racking onto fruit.
I'm going to transfer my 3 gallons of a sour onto about 6-9 lbs of raspberries. Was going to take the raspberries and freeze them, then dump them into the keg and transfer the sour over the raspberries and give it about 2-4 weeks in the keg before bottling via my beer gun. Question, what's the best way of preventing sediment from the raspberries getting into the bottles.
Muslin bag/cheese cloth over the beer tube? Would this cause any aeration or suction issues when it's trying to push the beer out?

Bug, I'd be worried about the cheese cloth clogging with fruit pulp. If it's an option, I think a better way to go would be to do the fruit fermentation in a bucket or carboy, then transfer to the keg with a regular racking cane. That way you have more control over sucking debris into the keg. If you don't have a bucket and just have to use a keg, then I think I'd still try to transfer into another keg before bottling.
