As I'm reading all these replies about "floaties," "mud," and "sludge," I'm
wondering what the consensus is about such "debris."

From time to time, I will have silver floating on the top of my CS when it's
finished, usually when I haven't cleaned the electrode fuzzies as well as I
probably should have prior to making a batch (this is with the Silverpuppy
unit).  The CS can be very clear, but I still may have some floaties.  Not
much to speak of, but you can see it.  I used to strain the CS through a
coffee filter when I would see them, but now I've gotten lazy, and I just
pour it into my bottle as is.  

Should I not be doing that?
