Boil keggle: holes in bottom rim

[blizz81]

My AB keg did not have any holes. Is this good enough to where we won't die?

you Might want to add two more at least

should be fine but a couple more couldn't hurt.

Two is just fine, you just need to make sure that ring can vent any moisture/steam buildup. Agree with above, very good catch!

Weep holes to prevent corrosion. Dont want the keg to hold water or caustic cleaners.

It seems all of the mentions of kegs exploding all go back to that one 2007 big brew incident. I remembered seeing threads about that years ago is why I knew to check (whew!). But it seems like even they had boiled in that keg for a while before the incident, and others that had checked because of it and had no holes had been ok. I just ran out of time and didn't want to deal with cleanup of slivers all over the place if I didn't have to.


We did brew on Sunday with it and didn't die, so that's a plus.
