Hi, I have 14 taps out of a coffin box from a homemade walk-in cooler. My kids are getting older, and so I’m looking for ways to shut off the taps easily.
For a bit of context, I use Bev Seal Ultra 235 in 3/8” OD with push to connect fittings, and to balance the lines I also have Perlick 650SS faucets, which have the flow control on them.
What I was hoping for, was a way to control stainless motorized ball valves. I have seen the 1/4” stainless ball valves for around ~$30 a piece, normally closed, running off low voltage DC.
I was wondering if kegbot were equipped for something along these lines? What I envision is the ball valves on relays, and when I login to kegbot, I can turn on one beer at a time, or all of them, and it would send the signal and actuate the ball valve, and then I could hit another button to have the software de-energize the ball valves since they auto close.
I likely would not worry about the flow meter aspect, even though I know that is the function that most use (I might consider it in the future if I could get the shutoffs to work well first).
