Fitting kegs in my keezer

[bjartar]

I built a collar for my keezer with the intention of fitting 4 cornies inside a 7.2 cu ft Frigidaire. 3 on the floor, 1 on the hump. The one on the hump fits until I connect the gas and liquid lines. It is all of about 3/4inches too tall for the lid to close. I cannot express how frustrated I am.

So, what can I do to remedy the situation? I know I could rebuild the collar or even build a top to add to the collar to make it a little taller, but I was wondering if there are any easier solutions out there.

Thanks!

this may not even be possible, but thinking outside the box....could you cut/saw off part of the rubber bottom of the keg?

How about sell that one and then get a low profile corny for the hump: https://www.homebrewing.org/5-Gallon-Low-Profile-Keg-Ball-Lock-Used-_p_3545.html. Or use the keg that doesn't fit for aging beer?

Nice. Good call. Thank you.

Glad to help. Keep in the mind, the low profile ones are wider than the normal corny's but I have a 7.3 cubic freezer and use a low profile on the hump and it all fits well.

A friend had this issue and ended up just cutting out part of the underside of the lid where the connections would be to give a little extra room.

I use 2.5 gal kegs on the hump. Not ideal, but that’s what fits.

I dont know the exact height of the QD's that you have or if something like the below will make up that 1/4 inch you are talking about. The below are 2.18" high
