Kegbot! Kegerator monitor and access control

Kegbot is a free, open-source project to turn your beer kegerator into a computerized drink tracker. With Kegbot, you can:

• Monitor exactly how much beer is left in your kegs and track the temperature;
• Record the volume of each and every pour;
• Set up user accounts to track who is drinking, how much, and all sorts of other nutty statistics;
• Use special keys (tokens, RFID tags, barcodes) to authenticate your kegerator users;
• Control access to your taps (with special valve hardware) to prevent unauthorized pours;

... and many other crazy things!

Kegbot is a collection of hardware and software, which you can use and modify for free. We've developed a Python-powered set of software to control the kegerator, and a web server for displaying stats (written with Django). We've also developed firmware for the popular Arduino AVR microcontroller board to interface with all the sensors.
