Primary fermentation just completed at 0.998 - apple wine shows no movement or bubbles, great result - 17.94%!. It took 12 days in primary bucket,and I syphoned off the total of 7L into two demijohns: trouble is, they are only about 75% full and the headroom, now that C02 production will have ceased, is causing me concern, fearing oxidation of surface layer.
I would appreciate advice - should I fill DJ (1) to the near top and leave the balance in DJ (2) with a 6" , 15cm empty headroom, or ditch the second DJ and fill a 2L plastic mineral water bottle to the brim instead.
I was hoping to mature 'in bulk' as many here have advocated, but am uncertain how to proceed with only 7L finished liquid..
