Question: How Do I Test for a Leaky Refrigerator

By | February 22, 2010

Steve from Illinois wrote in and asked,

“Hey, I don’t know if you guys really answer anyone, but I’ll ask anyways. My friends and I want to make ourselves a kegerator for the basement bar and those pre-made ones won’t do what we want, which is keep our mugs cold, too — and keep the Jagermeister ice cold for shots. We figure a full-size fridge and one of those CO2 tap kits will work better… but we don’t wanna’ buy some old klunker, get everything all set up, and then find out the damn thing’s got a leak. Do they make a meter for that sort of thing?”

First off, Steve, we appreciate your love of cold beer mugs and ice cold Jager. Seriously. We do.
