Co2 in or out of keezer / kegerator?

Just like it says, is your CO2 inside or outside of your keezer or kegerator? I have seen both ways in the build department and most commercial kegerators have it inside, soooo?

A poll? Both of my CO2 systems have tanks outside. Soooo....

I keep mine on the outside for three reasons.

1. Easier to adjust and use while cleaning kegs.
2. More accurate gauge readings
3. Can fit more beer in keezer.

Inside with no issues

Mine is outside in a cabinet so I have more room for beer.

Inside....my Keezer has four taps. Four kegs and my CO2 tank fit just fine.

Inside. My keezer and my kegerator are in the family room. Keeps the SWMBO happy. Therefore I'm happy. :rockin:

+ the dial gauges rust and so will the tank unless you opt for a much more expensive aluminum one (my 20# was $40.00 and $24 swap outs)

Tank on the inside on the hump...thought about putting it outside for ease when changing out kegs and the bottle itself.
Makes it more aesthetically pleasing to keep it inside the fridge IMO. No ghetto rigs and no hoses/wires/unicorns hanging outside the fridge.

Cheers!

mine is on the inside because i can just squeeze it in there and couldn't fit another corny in it's place

my keezer is in the dining room and I have a very active and curious 10month old at home so it's not feasible to put it outside for now but I would like to eventually so I can add a dual pressure regulator without having to add on a high pressure line to separate the reg from the co2 tank (there is no room inside to add it)

Mine is in because I have tons of room. I would not be opposed to moving it out....perhaps behind the keezer.

Mine is in for now but when i build my bar a might put it outside maybe maybe not im not sure yet

With my keezer I do both. I prefer to put it inside because otherwise it has to sit on top of the keezer, and is an eyesore. For the fridge in the shed I put it outside to make room for more kegs, and since I don't care about the aesthetics out there. Only difference IME is that the diaphragm is slower to change when you adjust the pressure. That's what causes some people to think that the gauge is less accurate when cold.

Great input so far! It looks like it's almost even since the poll didn't give the option of "both".

Sorry.. You can't vote twice. unless you're a democ..

Zing! Ok, sorry. I keep mine inside. Zero issues. I might move it outside at some point so I can fit 4 kegs
