I just realized a week after I finished up a batch of Canadian ale that I forgot to aerate the wort prior to pitching the yeast. Fortunately the air lock is busy with bubbles but I am wonder if this lapse I had will affect the batch. I am planning on just testing the FG after 3 weeks to see where I am.....anyone else do this before?

I used to forget all the time, don't sweat it. If your beer turns out bad it's because you worried too much... don't worry have a homebrew.
Well,did you pour it roughly into the FV? Did you stir it up to get the wort & top off water mixed? If you did any of these,it'd be aerated at least a little bit. They say dry yeast doesn't need aerating,but I refuse to believe that. Once it's wet,it doesn't any different.
