Can oxidation occur from cold crashing a gallon of cider, and pouring glasses out of the gallon jug. Resulting in alot of head space as my cider gets drunk?

I have about 1/4 of a gallon left, and it tastes "off" where as before it tasted better.

Any thoughts?
 
Yeah you should plan on drinking opened cider the day you open it if possible. It just goes downhill fast after that IMO. I rec that you bottle in sizes that you will drink in a single sitting.
 
Ok. I figured that was what happened, but wasn't sure. Instead of using the gallon jugs, I will start bottling in smaller ones.

Thanks!
