It's completely stupid, especially when carbon itself is untaxed. You're spending $1B to suck something out of a vast and difficult medium that's getting chucked up there willy nilly by anyone who wants to? Why not spend the money putting systems in place to block its initial exhaust? It would be far more cost effective.

The word 'issue' implies that something was wrong, but you were just bored.

Does anyone know a way to do this with the Rarbg rips that have been released? Like, bulk search and download tens of thousands of magnet links? A conventional indexer would ban you in minutes for that many API hits

Gigabit connections are available almost everywhere, for a cost of around $120AUD/month (usually 1000 mbps down, 40mbps up). Look at a provider like AussieBroadband for details.

2 drives won't raise any questions - just say you're a videographer if asked.

Australian here. This post reeks of paranoia. Are you moving 10 drives with pirate stickers on them and sweating profusely? If not, don't worry. The border force are only trained to search for biohazards.

A far more likey risk is baggage agents dropping the bag, or leaving it in the rain. But why are you physically moving data anyway? Unlimited gigiabit connections are the norm here, so you could probably redownload whatever it is when you need it, instead of letting readily available copies of pirated media dictate your interactions with law enforcement.

Makes total sense. Thanks for the thoughtful reply!

Has anyone tried using a very low attenuation yeast, like Lalbrew Windsor or Safale S-33?

The consensus seems to be that around 3 months on the trub is the borderline - having said, I'd love to know about a comparison performed on a longer period of time. Cleaning an extra keg sucks ass

Great tip on considering the tri-clamp lid. I also filled up the keg too much on my first attempt, so splitting up the batches, particularly on strong beers, is a good idea. Thanks!

On an unrelated note, I haven't found hard evidence yet of harm to flavour caused by leaving the beer on the trub, but the common advice seems to recommend moving it off either after primary, or if the beer is to be drunk in more than 3 months time. Are there any issues drinking it straight from primary over the long term?

 

I’ve started fermenting in a corny keg recently with a spunding valve, seemingly to good results (I love the fact that it’s a cheap multi-purpose stainless steel vessel), but I’ve heard it can be discouraged as if the spunding valve outlet gets clogged, it can lead to some “dangerous situations”. The recent post about a brewery staff member dying from an exploding keg means that the danger is a real one, even with commercial experience and controls.

Are there any extra preventative measures I can take, beyond using a spunding valve and PRV valve as backup in the keg lid, to ensure that I do this safely?

Corny Keg fermentation (self.homebrewing)
 

Whoo first post!

I've started fermenting in a corny keg recently, seemingly to good results (I love the fact that it's a cheap multi-purpose stainless steel vessel), but I've heard it can be discouraged as if the spunding valve outlet gets clogged, it can lead to some "dangerous situations".

Anyone have any experience with said danger, and how to avoid it?
