First Transfer and Air

[jsbeckton]

The MoreWine manual for reds suggests that you want to splash-rack during the first transfer by running the wine down the side of the carboy to expose it to air for only this transfer.

I’ve been using the AIO so wondering if I am missing out on anything now that I am not getting any air exposure during transfer?

I read that as well but I always vacuum rack / splash rack it helps degas and have never had any issues not exposing to air. I don't think we're missing out on anything.

I pour it from the press into the carboy via a huge funnel, so I guess I’m in the don’t worry about it camp. After that, I start being more careful.
