Finally building it. For at 7 cu. ft. size would you recommend 4  or 3 taps? CO2 planning to go inside on the lip.
Generally you don't see that kind of behavior in a major appliance.

It depends on what you can fit inside.  :D

I have 4 kegs in a 7.5 cu-ft freezer.  My CO2 is on the outside.  The freezer I used doesn't have a full shelf for the compressor.  It only takes up a small corner, giving a bit more floor space.

I would guess the most you can fit in would be 3 kegs with the CO2 bottle.

Where the heck are we going?  And what's with this hand basket?

I have had my CO2 tank in the keezer and after a while the gauges do not read properly from all of the cold and moisture in there.  I would put it outside as well.  Plus, it gives you a bit more room to work with inside.

I have my tank inside and haven't had any problems with the regulator or gauges,  but it's only a few years in.  I do put DampRid in the keezer, which keeps the air nice and dry.  I strongly recommend this.
