3-4 Corny Capacity Kegerator/Fridge?

[BillyVegas]

So, In my quest for a kegerator (my keezer build is on hold), I would like something that at least holds 3 cornys, if not 4. Having 2 taps would be key, 3-4 taps would be pretty extreme... welcome, but not necessary.

I'd like to just be able to carb beers at temp while serving others... is a homebrewer asking too much?

What models come to mind? Prefrably looking for used but.. not sure where to start on the model side.

Just browse your local craigslist for freezers and see what is available. I picked up a 7 cf for $100 and it can hold 3 easy (4 if you cram them in).

This link might help in finding out how many kegs you can hold in your freezer.

Yea, I have a chest freezer already - but I'm putting my keezer build on hold and want a full on kegerator. The future-keezer is being commissioned for lagering now.

Im checking this out now - but new the cost is a tad much...
Last I read the Haiers weren't so great on cold-control... this is a newer one, alledgedly better?

Many full size refrigerators fit the bill. I have an old (GE?). that fit four.

Chances are you'll have to take the door shelving off (easy), and mabye build a flat shelf in the bottom that extends front to back.

Good point, McKBrew... but I'm trying to incorporate it as part of my small dining/bar area... and it's gotta look decent - as much as I'd like a full on fridge, she ain't gonna cut it in here.

I've got a full size fridge, and its a pain. You can't get at the tops of the kegs easily enough.

The Haier looks nice but when its all said and done its about $700. I don't want to go that far since I do plan on getting a keezer up and going soon... hence why Im going for used.

i inherited one from my parents, and it will hold a 20# CO2 and five corneys very comfortably. My ferm fridge will do the same (or 4, 5 gallon buckets). I just used craigslist, seems like you can find used refrigerators all over the place for about $100.00 bucks just about any day of the week.

i couldn't tell you the brand of the ferm fridge on a temp control until. but i do know the fridge was well used, not the prettiest thing, and i haven't had a problem with it yet.

Look on Craigslist. There are constantly used kegerators on sale for $250-300 in my area, with CO2 tank and reg included. If it can fit a sanke keg, then it can probably fit three cornies and a 5 lbs tank.

Sanke = 3keg+co2?

If thats a tried and true formula, thad be great.

I got a line on a good Summit, but I havent seen it yet to confirm or deny it'll hold 3. If not... I think the pursuit continues.

Like I posted in the other thread, the Summit likely will only hold 2.

Another place to check is the Sears outlets. I've recently picked up two Kenmore kegerators (rebranded Haeir's) for $199 & $224. They were originally $700.

i picked up my freezer on top, fridge on bottom refrigerator off craigslist for $25. it will fit 6 cornys or 5 cornys and the co2 tank. i just want to have four + co2, but knowing it can hold 6 is nice. I only have two taps right now but have them spaced out so that i can have up to 6 taps total if i ever want to. i cut out 6 circles that were the diameter of a corny keg and took them with me when i went to check out the fridge.

my fridge is a hot point. ill see if i can figure out the exact model number.

Hi Guys,

It might sound silly but I am wondering how do you to put the tower on top if (as seen in most pictures) you have the door moving up and down.

What things I need to consider regarding that topic?

Tagging onto an old thread...

I'm looking into a 3-4 keg plus 5lb tank kegerator setup. There are a lot of used 14 cu ft fridge freezers online, and I'm just wondering are these big enough or should I be looking for larger capacity?
