    Hi
    I'm looking to get a kegerator and looking for a recommendation of a black fridge that will hold a 50 litre keg.
    Anyone got one that can recommend?
    Thanks

    What's wrong with a white fridge?

    You're going to limit your options looking for a black one. What's the budget?

    Corny kegs or commerical ones? Basically any fridge will do, just be careful when drilling holes as some can feck it up completely. Check adverts and donedeal etc.

    I'll be using a 50 litre commercial keg.
    Would keg fit in this one?

    I'm not sure, the dimensions are 845 x 553 x 580 mm (H x W x D) so go up to your local pub and ask them for an empty keg you need to measure for a project.

    Those are the external dimensions.
    I suspect a full keg won't fit in an under counter fridge due to the typical shelf at the back, down low.

    +1 on this, most small fridges have a step in intrusion on their rear floor for motor and refrigerant.
    Check the internal dimensions before you buy.

    On the fridge colour, white will likely be far cheaper and it can be easily turned black with vinyl wrap that is available very cheaply.

    Wrapping a fridge works quite well if you're patient and apply it right. Have actually had to do it twice for work reasons because good luck finding a red fridge anywhere! Just make sure to do cut outs for any vents, external controls etc that there may be.
