I was able to fit a 1/2 barrel in the Frigidaire with some modification. I haven't tried the 2 1/6 barrels but anything is possible.

If you get creative... you can make it work. The walls / door have a couple inches of foam and you can carve some of it out.

I modified a Frigidaire Model FRC445GB to fit a 1/2 barrel. It took some work but wasn't difficult. They sell the new version of this fridge at Loews. With some work you can probably use just about any 4.4 cu ft or larger fridge.

Sounds like a good idea. I'm enclosing mine in a cabinet underneath a bar top so I'm sticking to using the doors.

I'm the general manager for a restaurant and I am currently building a similar style into a bar that I acquired for free. I removed the angled lid and built a flat top. The only issue I have is the overhead clearance through the doors is tight. I have to lean the keg when putting it in or tap...

I was worried about the line freezing as well but had no issues. I figured if it did i could throw a sleeve over the line near the coils.

I layered three pieces of plywood (dug all the way down to coils) and it sits flush with the foam. I cut a 2.5" hole for air flow. Coils keep the tower very cold.

Here are some pics. I had to carve out the door and extend the rear hump an inch to make it fit.

Had to move it back one inch for clearance.

Carved out the back and made a new one out of acrylic and added insulation.

I just wanted to thank everyone for all the info I received from this thread. I was able to successfully adapt this fridge to hold a 1/2 barrel without any modification to the exterior.

Agreed, and that's what I'm doing for myself. I just need to come up with a smaller application for my brother. He lives in a college apartment. I'll keep exploring options. Thanks for the info.

Hello. I am new to the forum and looking forward to brewing my own beer! I'm planning on building a kegerator out of a chest freezer for myself but I also am building my brother a kegerator to hold a half barrel for Christmas. Anyway, I can get this fridge cheap locally and if at all possible...
