Dumped trub mistake?

[Trobocco]

I started an extract kit yesterday. It is a pumpkin ale so it had lots of spices in the boil as well as pumpkin. I noticed when I was siphoning it into my conical that quite a few solid particles were going through the tube. In order to prevent off flavors (at least in my mind) I dumped the trub today, 1st day after boil. A ton of sludge came out and now I'm wondering if I dumped the yeast and what effect this will have?

You probably didn't need to dump anything but I am not sure since it has the pumpkin. But the yeast should still be in suspension, busily multiplying and getting ready to make alcohol. So you should be fine on that part.

Probably ok. I wouldn't have bothered transferring. Most the yeast are in suspension. Many of us ferment on break material/trub and make great beer doing it. The only time I work to leave trub behind in the kettle is on iipas where there is two gallons of hop matter in there.
