dented kegs

[straycat]

i just picked up some used kegs. they arrived holding pressure and looking pretty good on the outside. 2 of them are pretty banged up on the inside bottom. almost like they were dented and pounded out. any reason to be concerned or am i good to go? links to pics below...

as long as they pressurize you are probably good to go. the metal will likely be weakened a bit if it was pounded back and forth, but we aren't talking high pressure on these things. fill them with water and pressurize them and set them outside for a day or two to make sure if you are concerned.

the biggest thing would be the little reservoir at the bottom that the pick up tube sits in, but those look fine from the pictures.

I have some that look similar and work fine, just be sure you clean them well, if there are scratches where they were pounded out it could harbor bugs.
