Afternoon all.
I'm after a fridge to put in 2 Corny kegs.
Does a regular undercounter fridge, hold 2 with a secondary regulator and a beer gun?

I will have a CO2 Cylinder outside piping in to both.

Thanks everyone
 
Think the internal capacities can vary quite a bit in fridges with very similar external dimensions.
Very true, and things to look out for are freezer shelfs/compartments in the top, and the stick-y-out-y bit where the temperature controller is. I go excited when my neighbours were giving away an undercounter fridge, only to be thwarted by the freezer shelf thing.
 
I’ve got some measurements for mine on this thread.

Occupied with a fermenter at the moment so I can’t check but it would probably take 2 ok. Think the internal capacities can vary quite a bit in fridges with very similar external dimensions.
StJayJay is bang on, took a bit of measuring and scouring forums to find the Kegmenter "Donor" fridge I wanted on Gumtree/FB Marketplaces. As long as the Compressor Hump at the back/bottom of the fridge is a slimmer version it should be OK. Alternatively, if you are prepared to remove some of the moulding from the inside of the door then that would open up a lot more options.
I ended up looking for the Hotpoint RLA36 or the Bosch KTR18P20GB Logixx Easy Access undercounter fridges. Both have a asymmetrical compressor hump, and with new taller kegs can even fit 3 in with some careful positioning. I only have two in mine and there's plenty of room. The Bosch (which I got on Gumtree for £30) has mounts for the shelf rails, which make drilling through the sides for Gas Lines dead easy as you can clear the insulation with a screwdriver first to make sure no cooling pipes are in the way before drilling.
