Danger Will Robinson -- Exploding Keggle

I just went out to the brew coop to check my kegs and they are fine. Those holes in the lip are weep holes so water and stuff can drain out of them. I would guess a few people around there had to change their shorts after that deal.

Crazy! Thanks to whoever bumped this thread. I will remember to keep my eyes open for that.

Thanks for the heads-up, I never thought to look.
Mine are holy though.

Wow. I didn't realize I was famous. That was my keg that exploded. I'm the "brewer with hearing loss" in the picasa photo album link above. I keep the shrapnel on my desk at work (I have scars on my leg where it cut me). The mangled turkey fryer is mounted in my brewing buddy's garage.

Check your kegs!
