I am transferring my 23L batch of red wine into the carboy from the bucket(after 7 days of primary fermentation) now that the specific gravity is .998.
I am transferring into a Better Bottle that is 22.7L. Is it okay that there will be no air space (other than whats in the neck) in the carboy?
I have used this carboy before in this stage and it was quite a pain as the carboy can't be moved easily when it is full without the wine overflowing. I plan to transfer to my glass carboy after a few more weeks for degassing and clearing, which has amble space to do this.
I want to utilize the two carboys I have (Better Bottle and my glass one) so that I don't have to transfer back into the bucket for my next rack, as I want to use my bucket for another batch.
Thanks in advance for advice.
