And here is the website I worked on last night, allowing you to configure what is on each tap, how many gallons is in the keg, how much is left, and how many pulses per liter for the flow meter. The default is 450, that is there in case you need to calibrate each beer differently. Mind you this...

Okay, here's a picture of the corner braces, but you can't really see how they hang 1/4" down in to the freezer to help hold the collar in place. There's also a picture of the stained collar resting on the freezer (no weather stripping yet). I got generic door hinges and drilled holes in...

That's a lot of beer on tap! How many people do you have helping you? I don't think I could drink that many kegs by myself before they started going bad :) Here is the sensor: http://www.adafruit.com/products/828 -- I'll report back with how accurate they are once I have them up and...

Yea it's a good idea with so much collar height. When you tip the collar back how do you control the freezer lid? Do you use a piece of duct tape or something to temporarily keep it from flying open? Also, what did you use for hinges? I saw a picture where one person used generic interior...

Yep, 2x10 so I can put a keg on the hump. It's a good idea, I've been considering that after I dropped one of the LCDs in the freezer with the collar resting there and realized I would have to hang upside down to get it out. How did you seal the collar to the freezer? I was going to caulk it...

Yea, that was a failure to plan. The Arduino was an afterthought for the kegerator and I already had the temp controller. Then I decided it was okay because I didn't want something to crash or die on the arduino and ruin all of the beer. Easter Sunday so I didn't get to do anything today...

Not a lot of progress to post today, the first coat of high gloss white paint went on the inside of the collar, I cut the hole for the temp controller (forgot to do that before assembly, whoops), and I wired up the STC-1000 controller and tested it. I'll have to take it apart to install it in...

I like the email alerts for the temp, that's a great idea. I'm going to use flow sensors to measure the volume of liquid (it's all written, but the sensors aren't here yet.) A buddy of mine suggested using a Kinect and the people recognition it has (part of the SDK) to identify who is...

Final Write-up: http://bit.ly/10Vc7wX I decided to build a keezer, and then decided being an IT person/programmer that I should play with an Arduino and see what I could get it to do. I read a lot of threads around here to get ideas for my keezer / collar, so I figured I'd post what I've done...
