I just bottled a batch of ESB and when I looked at the bung after, I noticed that it had split at the bottom where the airlock fits. There was a definite gap and I'm just wondering if anyone thinks this batch will be oxidized badly? I tasted it before bottling and it was great, but is it possible that signs of oxidization will show over time?
 
I would say that the chance of oxidation are slim. There would have been a layer of co2 above the beer and you would have have had to been a breeze blowing into your carboy to remove it.

You're gonna need some TP for that bunghole.
 
I had a screwcap crack so far that the krausen actually came out of it...I just left it and the beer was fine
