What is a Kegbot?
Kegbot is an internet-connected kegerator! With Kegbot, you can:
- See how much beer is left in your keg;
- Track individual drinkers, and record incriminating statistics;
- Control access to your keg and lock out unauthorized drinkers;
and much more! Kegbot is an open-source project, in spirit and in software. We mean it when we say, "Free as in beer!"
