Urgent Help Needed - Hop Pellets

[Brizbrew]

I am in the middle of brewing up my first batch using hop pellets. I am about to add my 30 minute addition hops shortly and need to know something.

Do I strain the sludgey mess out before pouring it into my fermenter or does it go in and settle to the bottom or what?

Your urgent help is much needed.

It would be best to leave the hops and kettle trub behind by whirlpooling and/or straining, or you could rack to another fermenter if this is not possible when the hops settle at the bottom of the fermenter. When you get a chance search for hot break and cold break posts in the forum.
