Ok guys. So for our first anniversary, my wife asked what I wanted and I said a chest freezer for a keezer. This is the first one I found and i think it's perfect.

http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_04616959000P?vName=Appliances&cName= Freezers

couple of questions. How many corny's do you think I could fit in there. Also, it has a temperature alarm. Would this alarm become an issue if I use this temperature controller?

Any and all advice would be awesome.

I'm not sure about the alarm, but I'd bet you can fit at least 6 cornies in there.

That sounds about right. Go to Lowes and look at their selection. I can not find mine on line right now, but we got a 15 cft for the same price as the one you are looking at.

Thanks for the responses, I don't have room for a 15 cu. ft. But I'm more concerned about the temperature alarm.

Bet it wouldn't be hard to disable the alarm.

I have a 7.5cu sears chest, and I can barely squeeze 3 cornies, and a 5lb cylinder in there.
The problem is the compressor 'hump/ledge' on the left that wastes space...and is exactly why the one in Bobby's post is such a sweet freezer....the 'hump' is only in the corner, not the full depth. That alone is 1 keg, plus enough room to stagger another in.
Sears doesn't make their appliances anyways. They all come out of GE, Whirlpool, and Maytag factories...so Bobby's Whirlpool is a steal.

Sears sells a number of alarm silencers for that particular model. You can find them here: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/search_10153_12605?keyword=hammer&gobutton.x=0&gob utton.y=0&gobutton=find

Unless you physically go to the showroom and measure the inside, you have no idea how many cornies you'll get in a chest freezer. I've done the shopping in almost every store that sells chest freezers in a 30 mile radius and you'd be amazed how ill-suited most are for kegerator use. Many have dimensions that will only allow 50% of their cubic footage to have cornies. Bottom line, get the Whirlpool 8.9cuft.

Thanks bobby. does your freezer have enough room on the hump for a carboy and still have room for a co2 tank?
