    Default 3 Cornie's in a Sanyo?

    I'm about to pull the trigger on a kegerator. Will I be able to squeeze 3 Cornie's into a Sanyo Kegerator. Talking about the one MMatic sells. Not sure of the model number, sorry.

    You cannot fit 3 1/6th bbls into those units, but as Corny kegs are 1/4" narrower than 1/6th's it MIGHT be possible, but that's a lot to squeeze into a compact unit, and if I remember correctly, the cold plate on these is a wraparound style, so you'd likely freeze your beers in direct contact with the cold plate...

    Although it looks like it would work on paper (19"W x 18"D) I would not bet on it being easy, and managing a gas cylinder, gas lines, and beer lines inside such a small space would be frustrating at best.

    Thanks, I'm having a heck of a time deciding on a Kegerator. I am a homebrewer so use Cornie's. Want to tap 2 and have one chilled so I never run completely out. Appreciate the help.

    Is there a mount for the tank on the outside? And a hole for the line?

    Default CO2 tank outside kegerator

    My kegerator, that I bought used had been adapted this way by the owner, who drilled a hole through the right side of the unit. This allows me to use a larger CO2 tank, and gives me more room inside.

    Do you have the Sanyo BC-1206? Which is the model I am considering.

    Check out the pics in the thread available via this link to see how I did it. If it doesn't come with a place to run an external CO2 line from the manufacturer, most people just drill a hole the same size as the OD of the CO2 line. Unfortunately where that would be on the unit you're looking at I have no idea.
