Heat so much about this but I don't recall ever reading anything about how it can happen.
The reason I ask is because I was taking a gravity reading from my secondary (fermentation kicked back in after I transferred from primary) with a baster and while I was removing the baster from inside the opening some of the beer came out and back into the beer. My batch came up a little short (about 4.25-4.5 gallons) so it fell from a relatively far distance and mildly splashed the beer. Is that enough to oxidize the whole batch? How else might a beer get oxidized?
