Blickman Boilmaker

I did a BIAB batch today in a 15 gallon Blickman Boilmaker. Once cooled, I racked to the fermentor via the valve on the bottom. Obviously, I got a bunch of trub into the fermentor. Is that ok? How do I avoid this - strainer? Thanks.

It is just fine. Many people dump the entire cooled wort into the fermentor. Go look in the equipment section for screens, whirlpooling, bent pickups that hug the edge of the pot. etc.

The lowest cost solution would be to get a sanitized 5 gallon strainer bag and put it in the fermenter. Drain into it and pull the bag out.
