I just made a saison with the majority of the grain bill as pilsner malt. Towards the end of the boil these long stringy proteins formed and were throughout the wort. They fell out when I cooled it down, but ive never seen hot break in the form of strings. Is it related to pilsner malt??

I did a 100% Avangard Pilsner blonde ale that had these. The beer turned out great. It was the first time I've seen such a crazy protein break, as well.
 
Some malts produce that. I get something similar in brews with a lot of wheat malts. Some people refer to egg drop soup. You can search it.
