Also, what's up with "2.1 surround sound + subwoofer"?  Is 2.1 really 'surround'?  Doesn't the 1 in 2.1 already imply that there's a subwoofer?  I'm assuming there aren't two subs.

Here's my new addition...similar thought, but different implementation.


Its a thought but can you do this when you pause your game! :w00t :w00t :w00t

Hey everyone!
We saw that a few links were coming from over here so wanted to see what got everyone so excited. We love the Arkeg and it's nice to see such a positive reaction. Hopefully you get a chance to play one soon!

To address a few questions: Typically, our customers are beer drinkers, but some are just home entertainers. Regardless, the Arkegs can now serve soda, cocktails, beer or anything you'd like, so if beer isn't your thing, we're sure you'll find something that is. One customer serves nothing but RC Cola, and another, nothing but homebrewed rootbeer!

We designed the trackball and buttons to be as spill friendly as possible. With a 3 month national tour, countless beer festivals and even weekend rentals over the past year, all parts on our floor models/demos are moving just fine.

Condensation isn't a problem inside the kegerator part due to active circulation. If some does occur, the inside is fiberglass and can just be wiped down. Pretty easy.

Thanks for the kind words on our invention, and we look forward to seeing more of your projects!

Cheers,
Brant

Your tap markers look great.  I really need to get/do something like that.  Are your labels print outs?  Can you change the labels on each?

Mine has the tank inside also, in the back left corner.  It's not really made to hold 3 sixtels, but if something might work, it really motivates me to try it.
The front two kegs are up on a 2x4 to get them to clear the lip at the bottom of the door, otherwise the door wouldn't close (but I knew this before I started since I very professionally worked it all out using paper plates  :-\ ).  The door closes solid though and the kegs probably have around 3/4" clearance inside the recess of the front door.

The labels on the tap handles are changeable.  I spent Friday at work making labels using web images and ms paint  :angel: ,
then printed them out on photo paper when I got home.
The picture frames are 2.25 x 3.25 fridge magnets from Michael's craft store ($2 each).  Since they are standard wallet size, the stupid "windows photo printing helper" demon thing actually helps more than it hurts in this case.  It allows printing of 9 different labels at once.  To change a label, I just grab the sides of the front edge of the frame and bend it forward until I can reach in and swap labels.  The back of the frame is glued into a recess routed into the tap handle.


(the router splintered the edge of the right one in a couple places)

oh snap! dogfishhead on tap... *DROOOOOOOL*

I've got a DogFish Head Alehouse here in town, wife and I go on occasion.  Love their beer.
VespaGuy:
Sorry to bump such an old thread, but I didn't see anything recent about the Arkeg.

The two owners were on the television show "Shark Tank" last night, looking for an investment (I don't recall the specifics). The "sharks" (investors) were pretty quick to dismiss them without any offers. The negatives that they cited were that it was too expensive, too dated, and the company had lackluster sales. One of the sharks, Robert, claimed to have purchased a bunch of arcade games for his own "man cave" years ago, picturing all of his buddies hanging out and playing games, only to have the room remain unused for years.
secret80sman:
I saw the same show last night. Very cool idea but its a novelty and their dreams of getting into big box retailers are just not realistic. They should sell these at stores that sell bar and pool table supplies. They could get some sales there I think.
