Don't know if this has been asked before.

Was going to enter some beers into Beerfest, but all my beer is bottled in 330ml bottles. Is there an easy procedure to rebottle beer? Can it be done without making it pointless to enter at all? Entries have to be in minimum 500ml according to the entry form.
 
Could you make up some sort of bottling wand on a silicone rubber stop with a tube going to base of the bottle that comes through the bung open to atmosphere, so when you tip it up it seals against the bottling won't. Then you can just use the bottling wand to gently transfer from one bottle to another, letting air in the bottle above the liquid so as to minimise oxidising.

Other than that I think you would risk oxidising the beer.
 
Most comps wouldn't have a problem if you supplied 2 x 330ml bottles. Just ask the organisers.
