Equipment is provided to solve the problem of affording information, in connection with dispensing of beverage from a pressurized keg via a tap controlled with a tap handle, about the level of beverage remaining in the keg. Preferably, the tap handle is caused to contain a power source, a position-sensitive switch, a microprocessor means containing a timer means, a reset associated with the microprocessor to be activated when a new keg is started, means for causing the microprocessor to accumulate an aggregate amount of time since the reset device was most recently activated, and a display or output responsive to the microprocessor to give signals (clock-face-style display, digital and/or alphanumeric display, or in some aspects of the invention, a flashing light or even simply an audible signal) to let the user know what the level of liquid in the keg is or that it has reached a point near to the end of the quarter-barrel or half-barrel keg now in use.
Équipement permettant de résoudre le problème que pose le manque d'informations au sujet du niveau de boisson qui reste dans un fût pressurisé à robinet contrôlé par manette. De préférence, la manette contient une source d'énergie, un commutateur de position, un microprocesseur doté d'une minuterie, un dispositif de réinitialisation relié au microprocesseur à activer lorqu'un nouveau fût est mis en place, un dispositif permettant au microprocessur de calculer le temps total écoulé depuis la dernière activation du dispositif de réinitialisation ainsi qu'un afficheur ou un dispositif de sortie relié au microprocesseur pour afficher des signaux (affichage de type cadran d'horloge, numérique ou alphanumérique). Dans certaines configurations, l'invention comporte un témoin lumineux clignotant ou émet simplement un signal sonore avertissant l'utilisateur que le fût quart de baril ou demi-baril en place est presque vide.
