when is a keg almost gone?

What are some ways to tell how much beer is left in a keg?

Scott the moderator in here said micromatic is working on a strip that will go on the keg and will be able to determine how much is left. I told him some company had that for the propane tanks and they were crap. the only way I know how to check is to lift up on it with one hand, if you can do that, you are running low

I guess if you wanted to be more exact you could always weigh the thing but the old lifting technique is close enough for me.

I was trying to keep track of the number of beers poured. My beer glasses are 16 oz so I should get about 150 glasses.... only problem is I had a party at the house and... You get the picture.

I am sure everone would have been happy to keep a tally. Like a little checklist on the table.

if I kept a note like that laying around of how many brews I drank on the weekend, my wife would put her shoe in my butt so far I'd be spitting leather for a month [V]

Now, that is an excellent point.

i just keep a case of cans in the fridge next to the keg just incase....if i run out its the cans till the next day or two when i pick up a new one
