I have my first batch in a 7 gallon carboy at the moment. I have about 5 gallons of mead, so there is a lot of surface area in the carboy at this moment.
I'm planning on transferring it to a 5 gallon carboy in the next day or two, but it's been in this carboy for about a month and half. It was previously in my fermenting bucket, but once it finished fermenting, I couldn't just leaving it in there since I have other things that needed brewing.
So I guess my question is this - My mead is about two months old at what point in time does oxidation really start to set in?
