Suggestions for a mini fridge to hold two 1/4 barrels?

Jcat5503 · Feb 4, 2013

Hello all! I'm new here, but I'm loving the site already.

I'm currently converting my dining room into a bar/lounge area. I want to convert a mini fridge into a kegerator. I would like it to be able to hole two 1/4 barrels.

Any suggestions? Budget friendly always a plus!

Cheers!

You're most likely not going to find anything 'mini' to hold two 1/4 barrel kegs. They have a foot print larger than most homebrew kegs.

Most likely going to have to find an actual kegerator fridge for that. Check craigslist or get ready to shell out $400+

Man that's a bummer. I figured there was some sort of small fridge I could convert. No other suggestions?

Convert a small fridge and use 1/6 barrels instead?

Are you sure you have 1/4 barrel kegs? Most homebrew kegs are 1/6 barrel kegs. If it hold 5 gallons, it's a 1/6barrell keg and then you will be able to convert some mini-fridges to hold 2 of them plus your gas tank

Slim quarters? They are only 2 inches wider than cornies. I have seen guys with 3 cornies in a mini fridge. If they can fit 3 cornies you should be able to fit 2 slims.

Do you know what fridge they are using? I want to get into home brewing eventually, but for now I'll be buying kegs of my favorite beers, most of which are 1/4 barrels. If I could find one that would hold one 1/4 and one 1/6 that would be fine too

I have seen multiple ones with 3 taps but here is a quick link to one: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/3-corny-mini-fridge-150281/
1/6 kegs would definitely work, they are only 1/4 of an inch bigger than cornies.
This just came up in my search as a back up plan: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f35/3-keg-mini-fridge-57620/
