So I've made two port wine kits so far but seem to have some challenges with too much headspace in the carboy. One kit didn't want the F pack added until bottling which really leaves the 3 gallon carboy with a lot of air in it even with a full liter of brandy added. I was wondering if it's acceptable to flood the carboy with CO2 and then put the airlock on. Would this prevent oxidizing? I'm not bulk aging the kits, just following the kit directions.
