Hey guys,
I brewed a Belgian Style Ale over the weekend and didn't strain any of my hops and cold/hot break...it all got dumped into my carboy.
I read the forum discussing that the transfer into secondary really isn't necessary and that many people find a clearer beer by keeping their beer in primary until bottling.

I'd like to keep my beer in primary if possible and I certainly would if I would have strained before transferring. However I'm concerned about an overly hoppy beer or off flavors from all the break and hops sitting on the bottom of my carboy.
Is this something I should be concerned about? Am I better off racking into the secondary or just continue letting my yeast throw their party in my primary for the next few weeks?
Thanks in advance for any/all comments or suggestions!
Cheers!
