Prime for a fruit mild?

[RobWalker]

Bit of a weird one. I've got a low ABV mild brewed with pale, amber (steeped,) crystal and black malts (mashed) and EKG + Bramling Cross hops. It was fermented out then racked onto mixed frozen fruits, where it's sat for a month or so. Now it's ready for bottling, yay!

Just looking for suggestions on the priming sugar really, in terms of ingredient used - not volumes, as I can sort that myself. Wouldn't mind boiling something into it either, as i'm trying to get this to be a "flavour bomb" with a low abv. Throw 'em at me!

2 gallon batch, probably be more er, purple than the beersmith calcs suggest, but it's hit SRM at 29.

Heheh, not a bad idea! Without starting a new topic, btw - what's the best method for racking off fruit? The fruit was blended, campden'd and it's very loose in the secondary now...should I syphon through a muslin bag before bottling?
