Can anybody tell me what off flavors excess trub will give to my beer?

Trub that is in the carboy or trub being sucked up into your bottles or keg? Trub in the carboy shouldnt give you a ton of off flavors unless there is a lot of dead yeast and the wort is sitting on that stuff for extended periods, then autolysis can occur. Trub sucked up into your kegs and/or bottles add extra protein that can oxidize over time etc... I used to get a lot of trub in my carboy before I used a wort chiller and siphoned the beer from the kettle to the carboy carefully. I used to just dump it through a funnel. Also before I used a hop spider for hops additions in the kettle. Both of these technics I learned on this site and have made my beers clearer and easier to manage at bottling.
