Cold break - help please!

[The-Engineer-That-Brews]

Help! I’ve just finished doing a very rapid cool after the boil, and it’s precipitated a LOT of cold break material. The photo doesn’t really show it up very well: it looks like scrambled egg in there!
It‘s starting to settle out already, but ideally I’d like to be doing a splashy pour into the FV now to oxygenate it before pitching.
If I do that, is there a risk it will all break up and not settle out again? Or should I leave it overnight and then rack it off the sediment in the morning?

Thanks in advance...

Pfft... I tip the lot into the FV. Waste not want not etc. What the yeast decline to consume ends up in the trub cake.

OK it's all aerated, pitched and transferred to the chiller cabinet for a 10ºC fermentation.
Mind you, having just read this Brülosophy post I'm not sure I need to bother with the chiller - he brewed two batched of exactly what I'm doing here (Bohemian Pils + WLP800); one at 10ºC and one at 18ºC... and to his surprise and shock, nobody was really able to tell the difference (!)

Every brew I ever made.

I just give it an hour to hopefully let it drop below the tap level, then drain slowly. If any gets pulled into the FV, really no problem, it all drops out. Just personal preference for me, I know many people dump it all in without issues.

thanks mate - well on this occasion it all went in the FV; so it will be interesting to see how things work out....
