[Vintage Iron]

I just found this 5.0cu on sale at Best Buy for $139.99 (On sale through March 3)

I'm thinking of building a 2 keg (Maybe 3 with a tall enough collar) keezer with it. Does anyone here have experience with this unit? I need something with a small footprint and this looks like just the ticket. Any thoughts are appreciated.

Just ordered one myself

Brought one home today! Hope to have a build thread on it soon...

Can you fit two sixtels diagonally in the lower section?

 

[Vintage Iron]

I don't know about your sixtel question, but it will fit two Corny Kegs (standing upright) in the lower section, and another standing upright on the compressor hump with the 2X8 collar I just built.

Build thread to come...

I just looked up keg dimensions and it looks like a sixtel is only a 1/4" bigger in height and width than a Corny. If that's the case, then they will fit standing up.

^Thanks for your reply. If you get a chance could you get the dimensions of the lower section and the height? I'd like to build a two sixtel keezer but am trying to get by without a collar.

Yes, lower section measures 15-1/2" X 14-1/2". You could make up a cardboard template that size and see if the footprint of your kegs will fit in it.

I'm going to put up a post about the build with some pics now...
