I just transferred "about" 5 gallons of pear primary from my fermenter pail to a glass carboy. But my carboy I received from my nephew is a 6.5 gallon. Between the pear mash waste in the nylon bag and the lees in the bottom of the bucket, I don't have enough (maybe 5 gallons) of wine to fill the carboy. As I understand, that is WAY too much air space. What do I do? I read online to pour some sweet white wine or blush in to fill space. It is still lightly fermenting.
1. Won't adding more alcohol kill the still fermenting yeast?
What to do?
Thanks!
