Kegbot Build

Background

We had a kegerator at this "digital loyalty" startup I worked for in Chicago. Being nerds, we wanted a way to connect the keg to our product. Employees could check in and pour a beer, and we'd track the beer poured for fun.

Parts

These flow sensors are sweet! kegbot flow sensors

Board Build

Building out the board kegbot arduino protoboard kegbot populated board kegbot populating board

Apple mouse box enclosure. That's upcycling! kegbot enclosure

Installation

First actual in-line test! kegbot first test

Not the best place for electronics... kegbot board installed attempt1 kegbot kegs

Me doing the dirty work kegbot installer

Found a better board location kegbot better board location

I used some servo wire to extend the sensor leads. kegbot sensor extended

Action Shots!

First test by my co-worker kegbot testing pour
