When you get your conicals it will be much less of an issue, easy to dump after a couple of hours of rest time.JQ
I leave some of it behind from the whirlpool, but I get a fair amount still. I say, trub is fine. The yeasties love it, and it settles out after fermentation anyway. I get some pretty clear beer even having the trub there.

I was expecting to get much less than I did. I used a whirlpool and whirlfloc but still ended up with a couple inches in the bottom of the carboy. It's kinda gross looking in the bottom I might try and fliter some out next time. Unless there is some kind of benefit to having it in there.
