a lot of sludge in fermenter could I poor thru cheese cloth on next batch ,and can I pour thru cheese cloth before bottling to clean up this batch.

I'm not sure what you brewed and how much is Trub and how much is yeast, Search Yeast Washing....Or Rack a Big ol' barley wine on it or clean and sanitize jars and pour the "Sludge" into the jars and put in the icebox and pitch in your next brew. Forget the cheese cloth.

its a 1 gallon bruxel blonde kit from Brooklyn brew just wondering if I can get a finer strain going into fermenter the strainer I use doesn't seem to catch enough?

Yes on the way into the fermenter
No on the way out to the bottles, you won't do it without airation .
