KegNet tracks the temperature and volume of beer in a keg, including every pour, and posts this info to a Facebook-like website for your kegerator.
The KegNet client consists of a small, cheap, internet connected computer attached to a liquid flow meter and a temperature sensor. This allows it to constantly track beer consumption and refrigerator temperature, which is then transmitted to the central KegNet servers for processing and display.
The main KegNet website is www.kegnetwork.com
