I've just noticed that the instructions that came with my wort chiller say "Please note: it is important to have run off the wort via a hop strainer before using a wort chiller, otherwise you will put all the proteins, coagulated during the hot break, back into solution".
I've never heard of re-chilled hot break being a problem. Is this just a ploy to encourage people to buy a hop strainer, or is there really a problem chilling unstrained wort?
