Pint Logger Version 1
Here is a quick video of the Flash + Phidget + Beer system I am building to track my tap at home. Version 1 is pretty much complete. I will clear out the test data this weekend and start using it to track beers at The House of Husar going forward. I will get a page dedicated to the project up as soon as I can and start loading stats into it so you can follow along.
A few things to come in future versions….
1. Tweet with each beer server. Who, What and When with a link back to the dedicated page.
2. Take a photo via an attached quick cam with each fob beer served and load it to the web.
3. Control the flow of beer with a servo motor and ball value. This will be the hardest of the 3 major upgrades for sure.
Watch the video and let me know what you think.

Great walkthrough, Ed!
I see from my cameo that I’ve already been putting them back. Looks like I need to drop by and get caught up (smile). Thanks for the mentions, and keep up the good work!
Your Pint Logger is looking really cool. I can’t wait to see it hooked up and controlling the tap.
Thanks for the comment Randy. It is coming along pretty good so far.
I loved drinking those 11 test beers. And I loved writing this comment while the video was still playing. Seriously, I think this is one of the coolest projects I have seen in a while. Time to package and sell this one.
I thought you would get a kick out of that. And yes, I thought you would want to comment while watching too.
I have a few more updates that I have done to the Pint Logger. Look for a post this week on that.
