On a homebrew level, using any system that is designed to filter dry hops from the fermenter should also work for filtering fruit. Examples include using a fine mesh bag on either the receiving or exiting end of a siphon, using a 300 micron stainless steel [https://utahbiodieselsupply.com/brewingfilters.php "Dry Hopper for Glass Carboys"] which fits over the receiving end of most homebrew auto-siphons, or a [http://www.homebrewing.org/Corny-Keg-Dip-Tube-Screen_p_2091.html corny keg dip tube screen] (also fits on steel racking canes <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1815435371818002/?comment_id=1815447721816767&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%22%7D Matthew Smylie.

Some brewers believe that pectinase can help with getting the fruit to separate from the beer <ref name="Loijos_Sites">[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1377477275613816/?comment_id=1378484418846435&reply_comment_id=1378916612136549&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R3%22%7D Conversation with Alex Loijos and James Sites on pectinase usage. 08/17/2016.]</ref>. Fruit can also be bagged in a mesh bag to help with filtering if the fermenter's opening is wide enough to accomidate it (non-carboy shaped fermenters).
