It hadn't been cooled yet.
How the hell have I brewed 6+ batches and not noticed the 'don't aerate hot wort' part in all of the instructions?!? No more vigorous whisking in DME during boiling for me

Because Hot Side Aeration is yet another brewer's bogeyman that has little to no effect on finished beer?
Any oxygen that gets introduced prefermentation, despite the superstition that runs in certain circles, will either get consumed by the multiplying yeast or scrubbed by the resultant co2 as it off gasses.
Yesterday, I helped bottle a batch of beer that had been in the primary fermenter for NINE MONTHS. (It was in a neighbor's basement). The beer was just fine.

Have you tried a bottle yet?Sorry for the ,but I'd really like to know.
Edit:just saw the "yesterday" part.
Joos... I'd suggest that jds tries the beer, rather than the bottle... a lot easier to consume
I had a live earwig in my bottling spigot that I didn't notice until I was cleaning it, and somehow the little bugger held on for all five gallons!
Measured wrong and ended up mashing in with a grist ratio of 3:1, while brewing a hefeweizen, instead of the intended 1.75:1 (don't ask). Basically, my mash looked like wheat & barley soup. All told everything went great, though. OG of 1.062, FG of 1.012. The beer tasted great, had a nice, creamy body and well balanced flavors, my best hefe to date.
