Keezer Questions!

[Antler]

I finally found a black chest freezer locally. Home depot sells a Danby Premier 5.5 now. I had a chance to stop today and take a look. I was hoping to fit 4 cornies in it but I'm not sure, I'll be satisfied with 3 but 4 would be great. The INTERNAL dimensions are 26.5" long, 15" wide, and 25" floor to cover. From the hump to the far wall is 19". Can I fit 4? Even 3?

I'll be having the CO2 tank outside, and atleast an 8" collar.

I'd suggest you make a template- Lay out a sheet of cardboard, mark those dimensions, and see if 3 or 4 kegs will fit. I did not do that- I thought I could get 3 kegs in mine- I was wrong.
Alternatively, take your kegs and make circular templates out of cardboard for the base- cut them a little large though so you have some room to maneuver the kegs in. IDK maybe 9 1/4 for Cornies, 9 1/2 for sixth barrel. Then measure their height- with connections- and cut a piece of wire that height connect to template, Use the wire to drop the template into chest coolers.

I thought of all this after I had bought a freezer that was too small.
