I thought this might pique the collective interest:

Of course, if you are thinking of using such a system to keep your teenage kids out of your kegerator, you are crazy. They'll have it hacked before you are out of the room.  |

I've told this story before. More than 10 years ago I had friends who invited me for a backyard barbecue, not a big bash but more of a small get-together with a total of eight or nine people. I brought a full corny keg of Oktoberfest, which we made a dent in but was still almost half full at the end of the evening. They said I didn't have to haul it home right away; why didn't I stop back the following day (Sunday) for brunch around noon.
When I arrived the keg was spitting foam. It didn't take us long to solve what had happened. Their 20-year-old son had come home after 1:00 am with two friends, and that was the end of it. The kid slept until 1:30 in the afternoon. |

I keep a keg on tap at the camp's picnic shelter fridge. When I leave, I flip the coupling lever up and lock the padlock on the door. Nothing fancy! |
