How many kegs can I fit in this thing?.....




I may be able to get a good deal on a chest freezer.  I'm pretty sure this is the model....

33.07"H x 28.35"W x 22.05"D   ---   5.0 cu ft

Make a cardboard cut out of the base of a corny and then place (and trace ) it in the bottom of the freezer to see how many will fit the measurement.

The only problem with that method is that almost half of the freezer may have a rise in the base for the compressor components.  SO unless you build a really tall collar for it, you may not be able to get that many kegs in there.

I have a 5.0 cuft chest freezer that we use for food.  I put one keg in there once for a special party we were having and I could only get one in there without modifying the lid.

 

I have a 5.0 cf chest freezer, its a Kenmore or whirlpool, with a 10 inch collar. i can fit 4 kegs in it. it is a tight fit but they fit. have to put 2 taps in the middle and one on each edge of the front board. 3 kegs fit very nicely in it. the cardboard cut outs i made only showed it would fit 3. i love mine.
best of luck!
