I just got done brewing my first pumpkin ale. Everything went fine. I hit all my targets and the day was smooth. As I finished draining into fermenter I saw little clear balls in the trub. It's like little jelly balls. Almost like silicone but more mushy I guess. Hard to describe. Like jellyfish consistency. Anyone know what this is? Here's the basic recip.

9# 2 row
1# special roast
1# 60L
3# pumpkin

1# brown sugar at 60
Oz cascade at 60
1.5 tablespoon pumpkin spice at 15
Irish moss at 10
Oz cascade at 5

Kinda what I figured. I have used all these ingredients many many times, except pumpkin. It's gotta be some wierd protein in the pumpkin. It all stayed behind in the kettle anyways.
