Side bt side fridge to kegerator

TJ-Bill · Dec 4, 2008

I can get a free perfectly good working side by side fridge. I was thinking of turning it into a kegerator.. I know of guys use the standard Horiztonal fridges.
I was wondering if there's any draw back to useing the side by side?
I know there's not as much room bu is there anything else..??

should I just wait and get a regular fridge?

Dude! It's free. If it doesn't work exactly like you want, I will at least work until you find something better. Imagine never having to bottle again....

I use a side by side, took the veggie drawers out, and two cornies fit nicely on the floor.

I really like the available vertical space to work in a side by side, and there's room above for bottles or other stuff. The door holds my 5 lb co2 tank perfectly. I use picnic taps.

You might want to measure first, but there's a likelihood that it will work out great.

Vacuum sealed hops in the freezer? Heck, it's free!

I've currently got my first corny in my garage side by side, sitting nice and snug next to my 20lb air tank.

EDIT: My air is now sitting outside of my fridge after 30 seconds with a drill. I have lots-o-room in there now.

This thread has some brainstorming I did with a couple other peeps.

I use a side by side. It's nice. A chest freezer would be cool, but it'd take a lot more floor space.

Thanks Guys..

Teh fridge is nicely waiting for me on my buddies deck under about 1 ft of snow.. Hopefully I'll have time to get it this weekend. Like everyone else I figure screw it it's free..
