I mistakenly put my finings (isinglass, PVPP and silica gel) into the primary intead of racking to secondary first. My plan was to use the slurry from the primary in another brew.

Q: Can I use the slurry despite the fact it has the finings in it?

I think not because of the nature of isinglass with yeast, especially. I clean yeast with chorine dioxide but I don't think this problem is fixable.

Do you?

Thanks.
 
Did you add the finings,then rack? If you did, I'd say it's perfectly fine. Finings can take weeks for them to do their thing. Why add all three? That seems like overkill to me. I only use bentonite when I use finings and it works fine.
