Hi guys, made a bit of an error after brewing 2 kit beers today finishing at about 3:45pm just realised the spigot on one of my fvs was leaking at a slow pace, so had only been In the fv for around 7hrs so decided to tip in to king keg which was sterilised then tighten the spigot
Sterilise very quickly then tip the beer back across introducing lots of oxygen and aeration. My thought were fermentation hasn’t really started yet so aerating wouldn’t be a bad thing?
So a bit unsure now wether I have completely ruined a beer or made a good quick thinking decision any help or info greatly received
 
It'll be fine. The more oxygen the better prior to fermentation.
 
Cheers stevey was 7hrs after I’d finished and pitched yeast but thought due to yeast lag being up to 15hrs would be ok
