I'm starting to look into kegging. My plan is to gather a list of materials and start buying them piece-meal in order to spread the cost out over time. Here's my ideal situation: optimize beer choice and minimize the footprint. I'd like to take a dorm fridge and modify it to fit 3 kegs. I'd prefer to not add a collar to the door, but I'd be open to doing that. Is this kind of setup possible, or is it a pipe dream?

Don't do it piece meal, save up a buy what you want and do it at one time. Use picnic taps for a while, but buying faucets without shanks, tower, et al just means you will have boxes of parts that are useless on their own.

There is a Danby that can hold 2 kegs, maybe 3. Some modification to the door will be needed.

No way you'll get three kegs in without modification of the door.

If you want to keep the existing door interior (shelves, etc.) you'll need a collar.

In the event you're using pin-locks or converted pin-locks three kegs may not be possible without a collar.

I have no problem modifying the door or the interior of the fridge where needed, I'm just trying to avoid a collar for esthetic reasons.

Anyone know of any models that would hold 3 kegs? All of my searches bring me to places that sell 3 tap kegerators, which are more expensive than I want to pay (also takes away the DIY aspect).

Now, I'd like to be proved wrong but two ball-lock or slimline torpedo kegs is all that will fit in a "dorm fridge" without a big collar.  And that collar would be a tough build.  Hmmm...could be done though.

I have an actual 3-tap kegerator that is a really, really tight squeeze for 3 kegs as-is, and it is bigger than any dorm fridge I've ever seen. Depending on the compressor location, you might have a hard time fitting even one 2.5 gallon keg in a dorm fridge, let alone three 5-gallon kegs.

What's the make and model of your fridge?

This project might be a long shot, but I'm hoping to make it happen.

By all means, don't let me talk you out of your project. Half the fun is getting there, which is why most of us homebrew in the first place

Thanks! It doesn't give the make and model number of the fridge, but it does give the dimensions which are very helpful.

I've heard that Beermeister rebadges their fridges, but I have no idea what the equivalent manufacturer and model number is.

I was thinking they might do something like that. Trade secrets, not letting people like me just make a parts list and do it myself, etc. Thanks for your help!
