Hi all,
Yesterday I racked yoopers oatmeal stout into a glass carboy and found the headspace to be excessive.
I took a gas hose and filled the headspace with co2. Just for fun, I took a sample of the gas inside the headspace with a straw and confirmed it was largely co2 (not a genius idea.. I know).
Does anyone see any reason why this wont work? I have heard of people putting glass marbles to take up space but wasnt too keen on that idea.
