No chance, this is 7 but the keg at the front is protruding too much so the door won't close. I'll definitely fit 12 kegs and my gas in there though.

Ive a similar fridge, it was out of a shop that was upgradeing to a newer fridge.
What i did was to put it on a STC1000 and i taped the temp probe behind some bubble wrap onto a wine bottle of water
and left it in the bottom of the fridge. I set the delay to 3 min and temp to 4 degrees C
Works great, and havent seen a increase in the electric bill either over the last 12 months.

Did you ever consider turning it into a Kegerator? Right now I've lots of ideas on how to utilize it best. I've already got a larder fridge and a Kegerator (holds 2 kegs). I was thinking of using this large fridge to ferment and condition Lagers as well as condition other beers. I'm still not sure if it's the best way to use the fridge though.

Any thoughts or comments are welcome.

the beauty of the upright fridges is that they dont take up much room, they use a fan to circulate cold air.
i think there ideal for lagering if you have a STC hooked up as well as you can set the temp you want.
Ive tried insulateing the door , but it made no difference.
If i had a chest freezer and the room for it, then ide build a keezer.
