Anyone know of any under counter/apartment size fridge that will accommodate 2 20L sanke kegs?
Will the Danby kegerators take 2 20L Sanke (their online spec suggests only one).

What about beverage centers (glass door beer cooler)? Anyone used one for a kegerator build? Do the get cold enough and do they have a larger floor area or is the condensor bulge the same?

I’m pretty sure my Danby 5.4 kegerator will hold two 20 liter kegs...I could let you know later when I get back as I’ve got two 20 liter kegs at home...ones in the smaller kegerator and I’ll drag it over to the Danby that’s already loaded...

Thanks for the update, I searched for the user manual for the Danby 2 tap kegerator and that explains how to hook up two 20L or 2 15L Sankes, so you are right. I am putting together a kegerator for a mate who wants to buy his beer in 20L kegs but I reckon he will find it difficult to find a used or new 5.4cu ft for a reasonable price. The Danby kegerators are on sale for $450 at the moment, single tap. Perhaps he should go for one of those and I can sell the gear I bought to diy him one.

This is a better deal and comes with 2 Sanke fittings. I find these ones work better than the danbys. You can actually get 4 coke kegs in these and they have a pass through for the CO2 so it can be mounted outside.

Yes, I wouldn’t bother building one...I did one and got a Danby 5.4 used for 1/3 of my build cost on a fridge. The Insignia Best Buy deal is your best bang for your buck as MacMan suggested...I would see Dave at Everwood for Corny to Sanke connects...then he’s got even better connectivity.

Everwood Also has the KegKing Kegerators now. I would suggest this over any of the Danby and Insignia models. It comes with all the fittings and intertap taps. I am loving mine, so just tossing in my two cents.

Wondering on price point..an Insignia would only need two Intertaps (I love the Intertap SS on mine) so...Insignia would come in at $549 + tax...

Sale Alert for the Insignia dual tap - 489 at best buy till the 19th. And if I look closely, those taps look like better quality than what came on mine.
