Once I get my autosiphon I'm so doing that with my old racking cane.

This sounds like a real easy thing to do - but now it made me think about how I've been doing things. My primary is a bucket, so I pour the cooled wort from the kettle to the bucket. Then I use sanitized whisk prior to pitching yeast. This part seems to be working for me, but my question is - when I siphon from my primary to secondary, should I be trying to oxygenate again? This would be easy to do with the venturi gadget.

After fermentation you do not want oxygen in your beer, so do not aerate between primary and secondary, try to keep to as little splashing as possible (which is why you siphon instead of pour)

NO... DONT oxygenate after primary. The only time you want oxygen in your wort is when it's... um.. wort and hasn't started fermentation yet. The yeasty beasties need oxygen to multiply at the very beginning of the fermentation process...

Just... dont
