Deciding on Features
Before you begin building your kegbot, you should have an idea of what you want your kegbot to be and what you want it to use it for. Not all parts and equipment are required, depending on these decisions.
Valve Control
Do you want to be able to shut off beer lines according to access control policies? A solenoid valve and code to open and close it according to different rules is part of the original kegbot design; however, a valve does add expense (at least $30 per beer line) and complexity to the system.
In addition, valves are believed to contribute to foaming problems.
Thermostat Control
Will you be using a refridgerator, or converting a freezer to act as one? The original kegbot had a relay and sensor to modulate a freezer's power to keep it around fridge temperatures.
There are off-the-shelf products to do the same thing, but they typically lack ability to make adjustments via the computer. Adding freezer control also means you will need a high-voltage relay to control the freezer. It also makes your controller software and operation critical to the health of the keg, as a mistake here could cause your expensive beer to freeze or warm.
Thermostat control is not advised for new designs.
