Holy cow, all of this discussion makes me wonder just HOW to rack 5-1/2 gal of mead from my primary bucket to my 5 gal Carboy, and minimize oxygen.  Obviously avoid splashing ,  and minimize head space. But for those of us who are not about to spend a ton of money on CO2 tanks, regulator’s, plumbing, etc. , there has to be a simple “good enough” approach we can follow w/o being a Physics major.  How about siphon carefully, and use a simple Sodastream CO2 carbonating unit to give any headspace a purge shot, then bubble lock it? Looking for a simple practical solution.
