I am wanting to use inert gas to flush my carboy headspaces to minimize oxidation of a lovely 2012 Michigan reisling I've got going. Fermentation is complete and its clearing beautifully after only Pre fining with bentonite. My question about gases is I know that carbon dioxide is ok for this purpose and long as the wine isn't pressurized and as long as fermentation is complete. I don't really have the $250 right now to spend on a complete inert gas setup and was wondering if it would work to drop a few pellets of dry ice into my carboys before racking and wait for them to release the frozen co2. After a while then just fish them out. Does this crazy or maybe a possibility?
