KEG APPS

New apps will change the way you drink

It's 2 a.m., and your illicit house party has reached its climax. Everyone is suitably inebriated, but the frivolity is under threat — the kegs are running low. Fortunately, entrepreneurs have come up with an alternative to shaking the kegs in desperation: smartphone and tablet apps designed to measure remaining beer levels, as well as other barometers such as temperature and oxygen levels. These technologies promise more than measuring capabilities, however; they will help servers to maintain the life ofthe party itself. The Canadian Press released a report yesterday about SteadyServ Technologies' iKeg system, which uses an app and a sensorto determine the volume of beer remaining in kegs. Thesensoris placed underneath the keg, where it determines pressure changes and calculates how many pints are left before transmitting the data to a smartphone. Domestic precedents are also in the works. Several different companies have created their own versions of Kegbot, an open-source software system designed for Android tablets, that measures the volume of liquid leaving a keg through a turbine sensor located in the beer line. Meanwhile, on Nov. 15, the Kickstarter campaign for KegVision wrapped up. Keg- Vision is completely wireless; the sensor is
