Serving temps

So I am trying to dial in my fridge that I will be turning into a kegerator at about 36 degrees. Just curious as to if this is too high too low of a temp for kegs. As well as what temp everyone has theirs set to.

Completely personal. Most would say a little higher for stouts than say a lager, but it is what you like. I like mine set very cool at 33 degrees. By the time I finish the beer, sitting in front of the fireplace, it can be warm.

Yes, a personal preference for sure. I set mine at 38. I tried 40ish but thought it wasn't cold enough. 38 seems just right for me.

If the fridge temp is say 38 would the beer inside be colder than that say around 35? Since it's in metal keg.

No. Metal is a conductor of temperature, not an amplifier or producer. Metal is used because it is an excellent conductor as well as other inherent properties.

I keep it at 41-42.
