I've actually heard of several instances in which a keg explodes in some form or another due to lack of venting in the rim. Definitely sage advice for those who are piecing together an all grain rig that includes keggles. Homebrew just doesn't taste as good when you're picking shrapnel out of your butt. Thanks for the post Sean.

Good breweries start with good equipment. BTW Gerinamo is hot :twisted:
