Can someone please explain beer oxidation and it's actual implications? I understand generally what oxidation is, but I do not understand:
1) what in beer is oxidizing (the unfermentables?)
2) aside from an impact of color, how does it impact flavor and is this impact actually noticeable to the average drinker?
I constantly hear about avoiding oxidation but I've never really understood it, and haven't found a good explanation. I'd like to know why I'm avoiding it so desperately.
