I know that I drank four homemade IPAs last night from my home kegerator. I also know how many ounces were poured, who poured them, what time they poured them, how much beer is left in the keg and I received a badge (I think Edward Forty Hands) in the app for being awesome. This is how drinking beer with the Brewskey kegerator monitor works. It\u2019s scary awesome.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt tracks EVERYTHING. You can\u2019t hide from it. You can only revel in the data.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n\u2013 said that guy by the office kegerator<\/a>.
<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nKegerator level monitors<\/a> and gadgets to track how much beer is left in your keg have been around for awhile. If you wanted to install a tracking systems in the past you had to be fairly knowledgeable with open source Arduino programming and install specialized equipment. Systems like KegBot were popular (but required a dedicated tablet and a lot of programming know-how). Those days are over. All you need now is a basic smartphone (with app), some flow sensors and a control box.<\/p>\nTwo companies are working hard to make tracking your kegerator pours on any home kegerator a breeze. KegTron<\/a> and Brewskey<\/a> both make installation very simple and have some cool features that set them apart from each other. I got a first-look at both the systems to find out for myself.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.kegerators.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/kegtron.jpg\")

KEGTRON<\/h2>\n
First up is the Kegtron wireless monitor. It is a small box with integrated flow sensors and controller board. I like that everything is self contained and if you needed to get inside you could with a few screws removed. Setup only took a few minutes after downloading the app, naming the local Kegtron and choosing the keg size. They have various keg sizes to choose from and you can also enter in a custom size.<\/p>\n

I spliced the kegtron into my kegerator beer tube and poured a brew. It was that simple. The app tells you how many drinks you have left in the keg. It doesn\u2019t try to do too much. It is like having a fuel gauge for your kegerator. They have single and double tap models available, but you can pair multiple together if you have a large tap wall.<\/p>\n

The Kegtron box is waterproof and can be mounted on the interior wall of the kegerator. Simply plug in the power adapter and it lives inside your kegerator and out of the way. The iOS and Android apps easily accommodate the home beer lover and the tap room. It\u2019s ready to track on a single tap kegerator<\/a> or a wall of twenty taps.<\/p>\nAvailable at <\/strong>Kegtron.com
