1 inch? 2 inch?
I fill them up all the way with my gravity bottling wand. After pulling it out, it leaves a little more than an inch or so as headspace.
I fill them up as stated above but as I pull the wand out I tip it to the side and press it against the inside edge of the bottle top at an angle. This allows me to leave about a half inch of head space.

I did the same thing with a Pilsner about 3 weeks ago. I tried on on Saturday and it wasn't very carbonated at all. It's my first batch, so it's an agonizing wait!
