-Each participating house buys and
provides a keg.
-A rotating schedule of beers will be
created to facilitate a fair purchasing
system.
-To reduce network tubing and costs
only one "beer tap" would run to each
house in a bus style network. In
order to keep cost low and somewhat
feasible
a system of lights or LEDs
are used to signal the system is in
use and the next user must wait for
their turn.
-A pressurized system would move
the beverage and trailing water
bursts to clear the network for
following beers.
-1/4,1/2, full Keg scalable!
-Whats a good system to move the
beer?

CO2 pressure, I guess. But I'm not really pitcuring how the nexus of this network is going to operate. |

" ... you might as well go the entire pig ... " What a great line. |

Reminds me of a story I heard about a guy who worked at a bar at the University of Texas. His job was to plug in individual bottles of Jack Daniels into a manifold connected to a pump in the basement that moved Mr. Daniels to a tap upstairs behind the bar. |

[Rods] is really hopped up about home brewing these days, I notice. |

This could work well in a big college frat house. Have a tube running through the walls to several different rooms, so that beer can be tapped at multiple locations. This would cut down on beer-line traffic. To push it through the tubing? Have a hand pump at each spigot! |

Excellent. That way I could poison the whole lot of them at once! |
|
|
pressure - Just have an electric keg pump with a pressure regulator. That way it's totally automated. When the keg runs out you just plug-and-play a new one. |
|
|
and add a digital metering system that measures how much each house drinks and divides it by the price of the keg, then automatically bills that person every month. |
|
|
you could have a service that monitors the level of beer, then you could have a neighborhood beer man, like a milk man but better, that comes by every couple of days and plugs in a new keg. |

In which case, definitely beer to peer. |
