this fridge for these kegs?

[joegibs]

Will this fridge work with these kegs? I can't find any mention of internal measurements, so more so wondering if anyone else has used a small fridge like this for their kegs? Trying to avoid putting a second full size fridge in my small house

I'd be concerned that it wouldn't fit because of the stuff on the door. Also, is that 4.5CU FT including the freezer space or in addition to the freezer space? If that 4.5 CF includes the freezer space, I would say it likely would NOT work.

Newsman,
What you say is absolutely true. Also the unit has a seperate freezer compartment (another door) so a standard keg will not fit in the refer part of it.

(My opinion.)

i'm open to ideas. i'd like to avoid getting another full sized fridge for my already crowded kitchen area, and i'd rather not have to walk to the basement every time i want a beer. what i'd really like is something like this, but i cant find a cheap used one on craigslist

joegibs, have you called a used appliance place? Sometimes you can get an older well working fridge cheap. There's always garage sales...

 

[joegibs]

there's tons of used refrigerators on craigslist that i could scoop up for dirt cheap, but there's the space issue and as much of a tree hugger that i sound like i try to be energy efficient. old fridge = xcel bill.

Hunt around for a unit like this one:

Or a similar product without the draft system attached.

Hope this helps.

There's a whole thread on here about various models that work well. Basically you need something that is about 4.5 Cu Ft, and all one compartment with a removable freezer section (or a freezer section that can be pushed out of the way.) Here's the thread -- https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f35/ke...e05-kenmore-183-94679-possibly-others-364119/

Just found a Sanyo 4912 on Ebay.

You might want to snatch it up ASAP. It is the perfect match for what you are after.

If you get it, I can give you the details on how to set it up.

found this on craigslist, its on the list from the thread linked above. so if i cut out the plastic guts it will fit the two kegs i'm getting?

so do you drill a hole to run in the co2 line?
