Kegerator advice for Sanke kegs

Post by Steeveo » Mon Nov 16, 2015 2:44 pm

Looking at getting a kegerator set up going for the son-in-law. I currently use sanke kegs in a full size fridge and would like to stay with them. I know that you can not get two 20s in the 4.4 fridge, so how large do I need to go and best location to get one?

The Walmart kegerator sounds like a good candidate:

There's pics in that thread, we have one at work.

Edit: it fits a 58L sanke, not sure about 2 x 20L

I have one for sale too, needs a bit of work but it's cheap for what it is, only has a single tap tower on it though

thats the link for mine. I'm asking about $200, which is a decent amount considering it needs a bit of work, but when in good shape they go for a lot more.

As for what comes with it, really just the fridge, tower, tap, sanke connector, and I can put in some hoses if you like, or a set of pin, or ball lock connectors. I

You can fit two cornelius kegs un a 4.4 cubic foot Danby mini fridge as I did here in these two videos I just posted:

Bluefin I have watched you vids. They're excellent. I tried two 20l sanke kegs in a 4.4 and they will not fit. Just a tad to big. A 5.4 is the best route to go from what I am seeing.
Thanks folks

Thanks Steeveo, I saw the Sanke Kegs in your title and when you mentioned 20L Sanke kegs , I didn't know you could get that size. I thought maybe you meant the cornelius kegs as I had. Sorry about the confusion. I believe Walmart online and sometimes Cosrco sell the Danby 5.4 kegerator with a alb CO2 cylinder and a single tap tower. Good luck with it. :cheers:
Take care, Bluefin.
