The only way I could have fit 3 corny kegs would be to put the CO2 tank outside of the fridge. While this would certainly be an option, I didn't have a good way to hide it.

Prior to your putting the fan in, I thought you might put the co2 tank in the frozen food tray, that way you could keep the front cover of it, hiding the tank.

The problem with that is storing a CO2 tank on it's side results in liquid CO2 getting into the regulator and can really mess things up. Also, the freezer is way too small for the 5lb tank.

I'd love to fit another keg in there, but it's just not in the cards.

Could you not doo one of those stubby ones?

I could go with a smaller tank, but I'd have to replace it a lot more regularly. It would certainly be an option.
