How long after moving over to the carboys do you leave that much headspace Joe? It seems like an awful lot of airspace there. I like to bring it up to just below the neck. It will be OK for a short period because of the degassing of the newly fermented wine, but as the gas levels decrease it increases the risk of oxidation.
