I don't even want to chime in and say, "I've never had oxidation issues with NEIPAs", but...
I don't even close transfer. Auto siphoning, for the win.
I know people claim oxidation with NEIPAs. I read it all the time. I also realize that a lot of people make beer, but not many people make good beer. I think it's more of a process issue. I'm always careful to clean and sanitize everything. But as far as oxygen is concerned, I open the fermenter to DH (2x) and then to transfer. I've even bottled off the keg and the beer is fine after a month. I've heard people say their NEIPAs are oxidized in a matter of days. That's process...
*I'm sure my NEIPAs lose "something" to oxygen, especially after a month. But it's definitely not that noticeable.
