I went with the Edgestar CRF150SS.

Was almost the same width as the Haier fridge I took out.

I learned my lesson the hard way. I put in a mini fridge with the freezer plate as it appears you did. Nothing in the box, I froze water. Put 2 quarter barrels inside, and couldn’t get it below 40 and it was running 24/7. Because I’m picky, and like my beer cold, I had to do something. I busted out the fridge and ordered a mini freezer (well, it’s a fridge and a freezer, and goes from 0-40 degrees. Edgestar, I think)

Width was the same as the Haier fridge aside from a few shims, and I built a backer board and put 6 inches of propink on top. Box now holds 32 if I want it to, and that’s on the medium setting. Best thing is, it is not running 24/7.

Was definitely a pain in the ass to pull the fridge out and scrap it, but without an exposed coil fridge, I doubt you will get it as cold as you want with a full box.

Good luck!

I ended up not hinging my, and using turn latches to hold the door (which is VERY snug) in place. Box holds 32 on medium.

Thanks for the response!

I absolutely insulated under the floor, with pink as well as great stuff. One question: Is there any reason I can’t make the keg box 38″ long and adjust the corner frame (make it a tad longer)? Only concern I have is if the fridge (2.7 CF) will cool that big of a box, but the 3 PC fans should help that cause. The reason is the “padded” quarter barrels are 17″ and I plan on putting a double tapper in.

I’m sure I’ll be fine as long as it’s sealed and insulated good and the air is circulating, but I thought I’d ask here as well.
