Kegerator sizes. What fits

[jonp9576]

I know there is a thread about how many cornys fit in different freezers but how bout refrigerators. I want to build my kegerator into my bar but i don't want to use a freezer this time. I also want more than two kegs to fit. Is there a mini fridge that fits 3 or 4? How bout the commercially available beermeisters. Anyone use them? How many fit in there?

I don't use one of those, but let's do some figuring....

A corny keg is 9" in diameter, so four corny kegs sitting in a 2x2 arrangement would take up an 18x18 area.

The diameter of a half barrel sanke (which I am assuming that thing is meant to hold) is a little more than 16".

If there is 2" of wiggle room around a sanke when it's in there, then 4 cornies would fit. Dropping to 3 doesn't help, because two of them still have to be side-by-side, requiring 18" of width.

So.. it MIGHT work. It all depends on how snugly it fits a half barrel.

That's what i'm trying to figure out. How much room is there on the sides of the big kegs
