I had a bottling accident while bottling into my final Tap-A-Draft 6 liter bottle. The bottle hit the floor with the lid off while the bottling bucket went its merry way. I grabbed the bottle while it was gurgling beer laying on its side and capped it with a sterile cap. I now have a 6 liter bottle that has been shook and oxygenated with a large head space of up to a liter in size. I could carb it and drink it, let sit a while and bottle condition with the sugar I had just added, or just pour it out which I refuse to do. What are your thoughts?
 
I think either of the first two choices would still be fine. I'm a bit paranoid, so I would probably squirt some CO2 into the headspace to try and get the oxygen out before either.
