CO2 Bottle Placement

[BigNastyBrew]

I'm building my kegerator over the next few days. I have all the parts but I don't know if the CO2 bottle (5lb) should stay OUT of the fridge or IN the fridge.

please Help

Thanks
Mike

Either one is fine. I keep mine inside.

+1 on inside, If you put it out side you have to drill another hole which is no big deal. If you have the room to put it inside it seams to be easier.

Sweet. That's what I WANTED to do anyway.

I keep mine outside (I have a 20 lb an a 5 lb tank) Give me more room inside, plus I have an extra line outside that I can carbonate a keg (or purge one) without having it in the kegorator (have to use higher pressure to carbonate to the same level at room temp)

I keep mine inside as well. I didn't want to drill an extra hole for the co2 line.

for now, I'm starting with 4 kegs in a full size fridge. If I ever get to 6, I may have to move her outside.
