How much head space is too much head space. After racking from primary to secondary on my Old Vine Zinfandel, I added almost a 750 ml bottle of wine to lessen the head space, I racked again for clearing and lost some of that, but not sure if there is too much head space for this process. The wine comes past the bend of the carboy but not up to the neck, I am guessing about 3 to 4 inches. Its been that way for a few days and I bought another bottle of wine to top off but now am wondering if it is necessary. Better to be safe than sorry? Will adding commercial wine to my wine after adding all the enzymes and such other additives be harmful at all at this point?
