So I made my first ale yesterday and it went pretty well. I did an extract recipe that included steeping some grains. I poured the wort through a strainer into my fermenter bucket and let it sit a while before i pitched my yeast.
That's when i noticed about an inch or so of stuff in the bottom of bucket. I am guessing this is hot/cold break that the strainer didn't catch, and probably some stuff that went through the grain bag. Is this something to worry about? I just pitched my yeast since my book didn't mention siphoning the wort to a container after it settled. Did i miss a step?
It was happily bubbling away this morning.
