Headspace concerns.

[Priemus]

So ive got a 6 gallon batch of wheat beer,But I was planning to make it an Apicot wit until a few days back, im a little concerned about the dried apricots and so2 etc etc.

So ive decided im going to ferment it for 2 weeks, and then transfer a little under half of it into a small fermenting bucket I have, in which I will have put the fruit.

The one with fruit im not worried about (preservative issue aside), but what I do worry about is the headspace then left in the original 30 leter fermenter, which will then be just about on half full at that point.

Is that foot of headspace too much to sit in for another week or two?

As long as you don't go shaking it you should be fine. It will still have a layer of CO2 on top of it.
