I would decant into the final vessel and stop just before the sludge starts pouring out. I do not believe the floaters at the top should be a problem Also make sure you wipe and clean your electrodes even mid cycle so that the sludge is at a minimum If you're excessively creating sludge then you may wish to lower your current a bit. I would go no higher than 1ma per square inch squared maximum. For example I brew with a 6 inch squared surface area and I brew at 2.5 ma roughly with constant current control. And it doesn't turn yellow, however whenever I approach 1ma per square inch squared then the liquid will colour slightly towards amber.
