I'm trying to think of creative and effective ways to displace O2 headspace after transferring my apfelwein to secondary. I've seen suggestions for marbles, but that sounds like a pain, plus I'm not even sure where to buy enough marbles to offset headspace from a 5 gallon batch. I had the...

I'm currently fermenting my second batch of Apfelwein - the first batch was good, I drank most of it too early but found that bottles kept getting better with time and was able to establish a good timing schedule for future batches. I didn't rack the first batch to secondary - I think it sat in...
