Hello all, I have my first batch going, inside a carboy similar to this:

Since there is some airspace in the carboy, and I want rack into an identical carboy, for secondary fermentation I was wondering if the air will be a concern.
The primary fermentation is almost done but is still going a little. I guess if I rack now the CO2 developing should replace the air (and oxygen) inside the new carboy preventing oxidation. But if the fermentation is very slow, do you think it would be a concern as to the airspace and oxidation?
Thank you,
Zagor.
