So...had a small tear in the grain bag and some grain wound up in the boil. The wort had floating matter in it, the way soy milk looks in coffee, like a curdle...

I was worried about bitterness/tannins but the wort was quite sweet and tasty.

Now, everything seems normal except for a much thicker than I'm used to layer of yeast/trub at the bottom of the carboy.

Anything I should do? Filtering possible? How? Anything to worry about?

Thanks!!!
 
the curdles are just proteins that are denatured during the boil. nothing to worry about. just leave them behind when you rack to a bottling bucket
