Default Removing floating skins from primary - technique

Hi all.

I am doing a SUPER TUSCAN wine kit from Winexpert Selection series.
After pouring the concentrated grape juice into the primary and normal
starting steps - they have a bag of grape skins, you are to mix in.
Which I did.

In a week, I'm suppose to put a little filter attachment on my hose and
let it strain out the floating skins. I did a kit similar to this (a
Pinot Noir, with skins) and the little nylon filter kept clogging.
Finally, I poured the must through a course bag to get out the
"floaters". Maybe this introduced too much air to my must. ? Anyways...
I have a better idea this time.

My question is: Could I just take a strainer and swish it around the
must and take out most of the floating skins that way? I would sterilize
it of course. I have a plastic one, and could press it to get out the
most liquid.

Since I'm dealing with only 6 gallons, this makes sense to me. Any
expert opinion or wise-cracks? :*)

p.s. I read this newsgroup almost daily, really learn from most of you,
and some of you... I am amused by. haha. Both are appreciated.
