I broke my thermometer in my wort. It happened when I was cooling the wort after the boil. I was stirring it to get it cool and I held the thermometer in there for a few minutes while I was stirring and probably hit it with the spoon. So I had little black pellets in the bottom of my pot. When I poured the wort into the fermemter, I strained it so I know none of the pellets are in there now, at least there shouldn't be any. Also, I quit pouring the wort when it got down to the crud anyway so most of it didn't even get out of the boiling pot. Should I worry about this? Are those pellets lead or steel?
