Air leak into pump when chilling

[arborman]

So, when I started my recirc chiller, my inlet hose to the pump had a bad gasket, which sucked air into the wort while I was chilling. Looks like I pumped some oxygen into the wort for sure. Is this going to be really bad? Or, can I look at this as oxygenating the wort before pitching yeast?

The yeast will use that O2 to multiply and make you some good beer!

It should be fine. It seems like hot side aeration is a bit of a myth, though I am sure someone will disagree. You will be fine

phew! I figured that was the case, but I have had a couple bad brew days lately.. Glad to know things are OK. Guess I didn't need to blast the wort with pure O2 once it was in the fermentor then
