O2 while racking to secondary.... VERY Concerned

[Mike-H]

Well, I was racking to secondary and noticed that my autosiphon wasnt siphoning. It took me a few minutes before I realized the airleak between the hose and siphon was breaking the siphon. I put some plastic wrap around it to mend the problem quickly. HOWEVER, there were bubbles of AIR flowing into my beer as it poured into the secondary.... Am I screwed?

No worries,

My IPA had a ton of siphoning problems and was making sucking noise and pulling all kinds of bubbles into the autosiphon because of the muslin I put around the end of it to keep out the hops from dryhopping.

My worries were unfounded. Absolutely delicious beer. One of my all-time favorites!

O2 is only a long term storage issue and nothing to worry about if you plan on drinking your beer in a normal amount of time.

You still have live yeast in your beer and they will use up the O2.
