How many cornies in a side by side fridge?

Mon May 04, 2009 5:43 am

My chest freezer kegerator is dying slowly. I can fit 5 cornies in my 10 cubic foot freezer. I have a line on a fridge, a side by side 21(?) cubic foot model. Will I be able to fit all 5 kegs in there? (I can make a reinforced bottom shelf if I have to.)

If I buy a 21 foot over/under fridge, I should be able to fit 5 cornies in there, no problem, right?

I have both a side-by-side and an over-under. The side-by-side holds 4 cornies on the bottom and 2 shelves for bottles above. The over/under holds 6 cornies. I don't know how many cubic feet each is, but they are not oversize or anything.

My side by side holds 4 Cornie's as well, with the crisper and shelf on the top still in tact. I have my c02 bottle on the outside.

Cool. I may pass on the side by side and go for an over/under instead.

Before you shell out any $$$ for a new fridge, cut a bunch of circles out of cardboard the same diameter as a keg. When you go to look at the fridge place those disks in the fridge to see just how many will fit. I wish I had done this before I bought my first kegerator/freezer. This will save you from buying one too small.
