I'm getting ready to do a kegerator build and can't decide between a fridgidaire mini fridge or a compact chest freezer keezer.
My concern with the fridge is temp control issues and frosting over. I have a magic chef mini that is simply not a reliable cooler...at least after the first year or so especially in a warm environment. Is a chest freezer with a temp controller more reliable and stable?
Size is also a concern. What is the minimum inside dims needed to fit 2 5 gallon ball-locks and a tank? If I go freezer then I don't want something that is 7 c.ft. as it will be just too big once I build it. Can I get away with a 3.6 or do I need a 5?
Any input here is welcome.
