I just racked an apple wine from its initial glass carboy to another glass carboy with probably a gallon and a half of space left in it. The fermentation was complete leaving about a 10% alcohol level.
I don't have any smaller vessels available.
I filled the space with a blast of CO2. Will that be enough to keep the wine from oxidizing over the next couple of weeks (I plan on racking it once again in 2 weeks). How long will a blast of CO2 last, as I'll have the same issue next time, as well, and may keep in that vessel much longer.
Thank you.
