Just finished bottling my 2nd batch of brew and had some problems with the auto-siphon which are making me worry about oxidation. I could not get a steady siphon going and had to keep pumping it and every time I pumped it it would shoot airbubbles up into the beer that was already in the bottling bucket. I've learned from this site that this is a bad thing, but I was wondering if this means oxidation will definitely happen or just that I've increased my risk for it. This batch tasted really good and I'll be pissed if I ruined it.
Also...how do you avoid transferring sediment when racking? I seem to always have problems with that.
