Ok, so the instructions for my second batch (honey cream ale) say siphon the wort from the pot into the primary and leave as much sediment behind as possible. When I got near the end I noticed quite of bit of it in there, so I poured through the rest though a strainer. I finished, and was rolling the strainer around a bit to drain and of course my phone rings..I shouldn't have anwsered but when I reached to my waist I angled the strainer, and the sediment rolled down and fell both on the floor and some in the bucket.
The beer should be ok, but I'm wondering what effects would be had if I left all the sediment in, or none had fallen back or in my case about half was reintroduced? Does it have a dramatic effect on the flavor and/or hoppiness?
