Heya,
I have had my new(ish) keg fridge running in the shed since I got it a couple of months ago - just til I was confident that I had it under control rather than taking inside and making a mess of it. I am looking to find a new home for it indoors but as I have a young family I am a little hesitant to have the co2 bottle inside.
What I am wondering is if there are any precautions that I can take to ensure that this is safe to have around my littlun. I am not that worried about her playing with it because she has spent some time around it outside and hasn't even been bothered to touch it - or even look it over properly, and the bottle it self wil be in the corner behinfd the fridge and out of site or at least reach. I check for leaks with the soapy water and am confident that my JG connections are all good. Another concern is that should I get a leak somewhere in the system would the drain in the laundry floor be sufficient to vent the area (the CO2, being heavier, would sit on the floor right?)
The gas bottle is a BOC 6kg rental so I am also happy to assume that they it is in good, serviced, condition.
I realise I have partly answered some of my questions here but still would appreciate any advice from those that have their gear inside to help ease my paranoid hesitation.
I am comfortable being a little paranoid BTW cos I feel that it helps to minimise complacency, which is dangerous with littluns around.
