I'm pretty sure there's a paper out there somewhere which shows that having break in the wort actually improves yeast health and performance.
spot on dunc as normal! its said it aids yeast due to a larger amount of surface area for the yeast to propagate on(in the yeast book somewhere not got it on me at the mo to quote page numbers)

do not fear the cold break, nearly 300 comercial brews in, never a problem.....

So if the cold break material is good for the yeast, why bother rinsing?
no palate, no patience.


Drinking - of course

Mainly to get rid of the dead yeast.
