Whirlfloc aren't toxic. Lol.
But it is nasty.
?? I don't see how?
Eat some. Maybe you'll like it but I thought it tasted gross.
Regardless, my point is there are somethings that taste bad in concentration but not in dilution in the beer like whirlfloc or chewing on a hop pellet or drinking a starter. Most ingredients should, in my opinion, be tasted. You should like what is going into your beer. However, back to the starter, decanting (pouring) off the excess wort down to the yeast cake is what I do as I do not want to dilute or risk affecting the beer with the wort from the starter. All I want is several hundred billion yeast (which I don't think taste very good either though I haven't had smoked yeast which I may like).
