You need to check that the barrel has no obvious flaws. Checks the seal in the cap - make sure it's sound. Check that the pressure relief valve on the top works. That's the main safetly feature - if the pressure builds up too much that will pass and release the pressure. You can also "twang" it to check that there's pressure in there.
I've only ever used mine to make beer from kits, but you can make it from scratch.
We have older threads on beer making. I'll add this to it later.
