my first brew and I made a couple of Rookie mistakes. My biggest concern is that I got about 1/4 cup of hops/grain from the wort into the fermentor. How big of a mistake is this? Did I just completely ruin the beer?
 
In a word, no. Any material that ended up in the fermenter will ultimately settle out at the bottom along with the yeast and trub. On occasion, I actually deliberately dump the hops into the bucket. Relax; you'll be fine :mug:.
 
Yep, no worries.

I've brewed batches and fermented on a much larger concentration of hops than you're mentioning.
