Hi all!

I have a spare chest freezer and a spare refrigerator. For storing/serving corny kegs (primarily) and lagering (once in a while), which is the better choice?

Pro's and Con's?

thanks!

I have a chest freezer (15cf) for storing corny kegs.
Advantages:
Able to fit 8 corny kegs in the freezer.

Disadvantages:
Have to lift the corny keg over the sidewall of the chest freezer to move it in/out.
Need to use a separate temp controller to control the temp inside the freezer
If you want to put in 8 taps you either need to drill 8 holes in the side of the
freezer or make a collar.
 
I like the look of the chest freezer more, but I like the extra freezer space I get with the fridge.
