Keezer of...well not death but certainly unpleasantness

gmac:
So I opened my keg freezer yesterday and I noticed that some yeast I had in there had fallen to the bottom.  I bent down to get it and suddenly my eyes started burning and breathing felt very odd, hard to describe.  It seems that I've had a slow leak for a while and my freezer was completely full of CO2 so I was bobbing for yeast in a big tub of gas.  Obviously CO2 isn't going to kill me right away or anything but it wasn't the most pleasurable experience. 

tschmidlin:
Wow, be careful!  It might not kill you right away, but if you pass out with your head in there you're done.

davidgzach:
Seriously.  I've opened my fermenting chest with 4 lagers going and bent in to adjust the blow off tube.  I almost passed out from all the CO2 and Sulphur.

AmandaK:
Been there, done that!

beersk:
Yeah, be careful, it feels like death. I still do it on accident, forgetting that the freezer is full of CO2. I pull my head out and I start huffing and puffing...
