This is my 4th batch of beer. I decided to make a Moktoberfest. To help clear my wort, I added 1 whirfloc tablet to a 2.5 gallon boil, 15 minutes before flameout. When I racked to my primary, I was sucking up tons of very light floc that did not settle when I waited 10 minutes between cold break and the start of racking. Looking at the bottom of my brew kettle after racking, it seems like there's alot less trub then I've seen in the past.
On a possibly relevant side note, this is the first time I've used Hopunion pellets - the last three batches I used whatever pellets came with the Brewer's Best kits - possibly a cause for the difference?
Did I screw up? Should I re-rack from the primary to get rid of all the nastiness (possible trub) that I sucked up? Should I chill and have another beer although it's almost midnight and i have to wake up at 5am?
