I made a mistake and managed to get some grain/protein in my wort. Didn't realize it until I was letting the wort chill after the boil and found loose grain and a really thick haze floating in the wort.

I found the problem on my tun that caused the issue, and have fixed it, but now I'm stuck with six gallons of beer with this stuff in it. Will this crap sink to the bottom during fermenting, or is there any thing else I can do to get rid of it? If not, will it ruin the batch, other than the color/clarity? This is a wheat beer.

Thanks,

Josh
 
It'll sink to the bottom. When you siphon to bottling bucket, just leave it behind with the sediment.
 
Thanks so much for the quick answer. I've been working on this now for about twelve hours and was scared to death that I was screwed. Made my night dude.
