Mini fridge that will hold 2 pin lock kegs.

Post by Jimmy M » Thu Dec 27, 2012 7:42 pm

Just wondering if anyone knows the size of a mini fridge i would need to fit two pinlock kegs?
Or maybe even where to buy?

I know it would have been a lot easier with the ball lock kegs but i got them as a gift.


Thanks!

It really depends on the brand of fridge. I have a mini fridge that I use as a fermentation chamber; it's a Kenmore Elite 4.9cu.ft and would definitely fit 2 Pinlock kegs.

I forgot to mention that you want one without a freezer compartment. They can be bent out of the way, but I wouldn't want to risk breaking the lines.

you could trace the bottom of the keg onto cardboard and make two cardboard discs... that way you can take those with you instead of two kegs, you just need to know the height you're looking for
This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Seems like a good deal at Costco, if the deal applies here in NS: http://f.redflagdeals.com/showthread.ph ... st16093770" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Danby Designer Compact Fridge 4.4 cu. ft - $125

EDIT: Not sure if it'll fit 2 pin-locks or not.
EDIT2: This thread says that it won't hold 2 pin locks: http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/danby-d ... ld-269314/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
