pressure barrel disaster averted

as i was cleaning to get ready for a batch i noticed a stubborn streak which on closer examination was hiding a crack about a 1/4 the way round the base with a tiny ouze in the middle inch or so.

therefore today's non news is dogs not traumatised, man not beaten with a mop.

it looked like a close miss though:roll:

5 gallon beer barrel with a co2 injector, so not high pressure as we know it but enough to make a bit of a pop and expel the contents while doing a soda bottle rocket impersonation if the barrel fails, so i imagine it would be rather messy to be too close to it.
