It smells delicious, but I have a problem with the volume. I have all that air space above the fluid within a 1 gallon bottle... how can I fix this? How can I prevent oxidation with this small a quantity?
Some here once posted an incredibly clever and easy trick - I haven't
used it yet, but it's in my mental bag of tricks. Get a bunche of
cheap glass marbles, sanitize them, and drop them in to displace some
of the liquid and close up the headspace. Cheap 'n easy.
