Hey,
I got a used mini-fridge for free that I wanted to convert to a kegerator. A GE model with the freezer at the top. Following a few threads I found online, I tried bending the freezer part (that had the cooling lines in it). I was doing slowly, but at some point, it happened: it started hissing (so I punctured the line, and I guess I got a bit of freon poisoning (just kidding).
So I was wondering: can I still somehow use the remaining compressor and condenser coils (they're hidden in the unit...), connect a new evaporator coil and try to build a fermentation chamber with it? If yes, how complex/dangerous is it?
Thanks!
