Flow meters

Post by MAV » Tue Mar 06, 2018 1:20 pm

Is anyone using flow meters to keep track of how much beer is left in a keg? I built a 6 tap keezer with a built in LCD (see pic) that will eventually have an interface showing what's on each tap. The stretch goal would be to figure out how to install flow meters and interface them to a PC and show how much beer is left in each keg. Looking for any feedback I can get.

I've been contemplating building something to do just this using a scale so it can calculate based on weight.

Also that's a very nice looking keezer.

I started working on a project to do that using an Arduino board and this flow meter.

Worked pretty good, but I got busy and never finished. Someday I'll get back to it.
Currently on tap:
1) Festa Brown Ale
2) Festa Pale Ale
3) Best Case Northern Lights
4) Festa Continental Pilsner

In the bucket: Empty
In the carboy: Empty

Buy yourself a 24 and you'll be happy for a weekend. Teach yourself to homebrew and you'll be happy for a lifetime. :)
