I just did a partial mash brew and I definitlely subscribe to RDWHAHB. I use a 2 gallon igloo liquid cooler for mashing with BIAB.
Last week I brewed NB's Rye PA (Partial Mash). After mashing, instead of slowly pouring the wort into the boil kettle with a hose, I simply lifted the bag, picked up the cooler, and dumped the 150 degee wort into the pot so it definitley aerated a little. Same with the sparge water.
I've read that aerating the hot wort pre-boil can cause oxidation long term. I've searched the forum and also read John Palmer's info on his below:

Has anyone experienced oxidation or off flavors in their home brews due to HSA or is this mostly an issue for commercial brewers?
