Kettle to fermenter question

[MgMt_Home_Brew]

So I brewed a maple syrup dark ale kit last night from extract. My issue is I still have not nailed down my process for transfering from my kettle to my primary while still leaving all the hot/cold break. Last night I was kind of in a rush and a little so I just poured from high up and pretty much everything in the kettle went into my primary. So the questions are:

-Is having all of this hot/cold break and pellet hops in my primary going to be an issue for off flavors?

-If so should I rack to a secondary (I typically don't but I usually dont have all this crud in my fermenter)?

I planned on leaving this guy in the primary for about 4 weeks and then going to keg for 2 more weeks under pressure.

I can't say for sure, but the last extract kit I used was for Kolsch and included pellet hops. I didn't use a hop bag and i didn't strain or secondary it. Had it in the primary for three weeks and virtually ALL of the floaties went to the bottom of the fermenter. Bottled it this past weekend and didn't notice any difference from others that I had used whole hops with a hop bag.

Hope that helps

Yeah I mean this is my 7th batch and I never really did much as far as straining the hops out but I would usually leave a little in the bottom of the kettle where most of the stuff is but this time I didn't...

Should I just RWDAHAHB??

I have dumped everything in the primary, strained it, Whirlpool, and you know they all tasted great.

i've never strained any of mine and use pellets all the time. Always tastes good.

Alright I feel better now, I was just getting a little paranoid. Now if I could just get out of work and start my weekend!!!
