I'm one of those guys that can never do a project without some catastrophe or other. I decided to retire my 20 year old keezer because it cost a fortune to run, and would collect an inch of water in the bottom no matter what I tried.
So I got myself a brand new full sized fridge to convert. I decided to put the taps through the side, instead of the door. The pilot holes went fine. I put a probe in there and didn't feel anything. The first full size hole went through fine, and there was nothing but foam in the hole.
The second hole nicked a copper tube right at the edge (just out of reach from where I probed). It hissed and gas came out at pretty good pressure for a while, but no fluid came out.
Questions:
1) Am I going to die from breathing whatever came out? It didn't smell like anything.
2) Is there anything I can do to recover from this? Is the fridge toast, is this fixable, or is this not a problem?
3) If fixable, how do I fix it, or is this something I should pay a professional for? (Any pros on here in the Philly area willing to help in exchange for a case of liquid consideration?)
And my apologies - I'm on my phone, and the search function isn't great. I'd be happy for a pointer over to another thread if this is already covered somewhere else.
