Burping the system

Burping the system
Alright. So. I just changed a rad hose and flushed my coolant system. I wouldn't call what was circulating coolant, but more along the lines of rusty water. I had a ton of what appeared to be metal particles floating around in my overflow, and on the bottom of my radiator. I put some fresh coolant in and proceeded to burp the system. I read that the VG is notoriously hard to burp.
Now I have a problem.
I turned my heater on full, and I'm no longer getting blisteringly hot air out of it. It's just lukewarm air. Is it possible I got a gnarly airbubble trapped deep within the recesses of the system? Or could it be something worse?
I'm only concerned because of all the rusty water and metal/dirt particles. Any suggestions for burping? Is this "air bleeder valve" located on the t-stat housing? Should I open that up?
