What size keg fridge do I need?

[Neorts]

I’m installing a 3 tap tower in my bar. I only use 1/4 and 1/6 barrels and I want to fit three in the kegerator fridge. What size do I need to look for? I had a 24 inch before with two taps and I could almost fit three kegs in it and close it, but it would still be open by an inch. I do have an external CO2 tank.
Please help.

Just a guess, but these people would probably love to have you call them and ask the same question as they seem local to you?

I called up these people when I was trying to figure out a similar question and they were pretty helpful. I didn't end up purchasing from them, but it was a good starting point.

I got an EdgeStar BR3002 almost a year ago and put a three tap tower on it. I use corny kegs but it will also hold three sixtels. It was on a very good sale when I bought it and I'm not sure it's worth the prices I'm seeing now. But you still might find it useful as a point of reference. It's 5.6 cubic feet and the outside dimensions are listed as 25.25"D x 23.81"W x 35.25"H.

the answer to this question for me is always the biggest one you think you can get past your wife.

its much easier to answer what the smallest size you need is.

this thread may help.

Great thread. Probably easiest to search for a make and then cross reference models since they change all the time.

I'm tempted to say get a six keg sized freezer, put a temp controller on and then but splitters on the beer lines with isolators and then you can serve 6 beers through 3 taps.

It is great to have space for two extra kegs in addition to the serving kegs. You can carb the keg that is next in line before it goes "live". I call this space ... The on deck circle. Ha

No commercial home kegerator can fit 3 kegs if one is a 1/4bbl that I’ve found. The larger ones can do 3 1/6 or 1/4 & 1/6. I don’t think they do 2x 1/4. You either need a commercial one or build a keezer. The downside of a keezer is beer and stainless are heavy. Especially more than 5gal.
