Quick question guys. Just done a mash and boil BIAB method. Used hop pellets. Should the residual hop slurry be left in the brew for fermentation or removed? I have just transferred the brew from stockpot to FV using the bag as a sieve to filter out the hops but now I'm wondering whether I should've left them in? Or does it not make a difference now the boil has finished?
Any pointers welcome, thanks
 
Take them out if possible IMO.
It makes for clearer beer, less chance of any off flavours from the hop residue and if you are going to re-use the yeast you do not want hop residue in it unless you are going to wash it
