So I need to do just a few more things to my kegerator to make it really awesome, foremost of which is installing the new thermostat I just got, as well as moving the co2 tank to the outside. The problem with all of this is the drilling. So much drilling.
I've already drilled once to install a tap, but I went through the door, which I knew to be safe because it is removable. However, the probe and the gas lines (dual body reg) I would really like to go in through the side, or even better, the back.
Noodling around on HBT, I found the most comfortable route of finding the lines to be turning it on from a warm state, and feeling for warmth. The only warmth I can find, though, is from the coils on the back. Everywhere else seems to remain the same temp. Does this mean it's reasonably safe to drill the sides?
And finally, once the holes are drilled for the lines, how do most people seal them?
Man...that was way more than I planned on typing. I need a brew.
