Tore my sack! (muslin :p) what do I do?

[nuber]

My muslin bag caught on something and ripped. Some grains are getting into the kettle. I don't have another muslin bag. Is it okay to mash as usual and just strain better later?

Strain before you boil so you won't have to worry about sanitizing the strainer. Should be fine. Just don't dump all the Grain in there!

Agreed. Strain before boiling. You will get better results if you do not boil any/much grain. It is not a bad deal, just a bit more work to do.
