I have seen some truly beautiful kegerator/keezer builds and some ingenious DIY projects here and recently stumbled across images of an upright freezer where the kegs were stored on their sides. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/upright-freeze-has-coils-shelves-my-keezer-build-136786/ Unfortunately, the original poster never commented on the outcome of his project to radically modify the freezer
This project got me thinking about the possibility of getting a Craigslist fridge and stacking additional kegs (aging, quick reloads, or even everyday drinking). Obviously a keg on its side will (at best) give up half of its goodness before a faux blow out, but couldnt one simply rotate stock and/or rig a shelf at an angle to slow down the rotation schedule? I am thinking along the lines of 2-4 kegs standing on the floor, with 2-3 on their sides high in the fridge, and 1-2 more at the steepest angle possible in between. Heck with a side by side fridge, I bet 6-8 kegs could be stored on their sides in the freezer (not sure how one would alter that thermostat, but certainly someone in this forum has the know-how).
Aside from all of the weight (which could be problem all to itself), what am I missing? There is no chance I have one upped you guys. I am a drinker, not a thinker!
