Can I trust this gravity sample?

Hello, I just finished my first BIAB and took this sample. The reading is at 1.070.. Target is 1.060.. I let it cool in the fridge to get to temp and the sample had separated with trub filling about 2/3 of the tube. I mixed it up to see if reading were different.. They weren't by much... Whata think? Am I getting a false reading because of all the trub?

Nope, that shouldn't matter. Only bubbles sticking to the hydrometer and things that are actually in solution will make a difference to your reading.
