Cold break CAN impart flavors in your fermentation, this usally happens when you ferment on the "hot" side of your temps or during a LONG fermentation >4wks.
You will probably be ok, but you can rack off the crap after about 1-2hrs of sitting, then pitch your yeast,..... . or you can just leave it alone and have a homebrew.
