Using Temperature Activated Stickers to See Keg Levels
Thanks to u/CivilDistribution576 on r/homebrewing for this tip and picture
u/CivilDistribution576 Says…
They sell these sheets that are like 1 square foot vinyl stickers that change color at 59°F. I cut a strip out of one and placed it from top to bottom of the keg. Throw it in the kegerator and the sticker is a bold color (<59°F), take it out, and rub it to generate heat until the color turns white. Give it a couple seconds, and the color will be restored up to the level of the beer and make a clear indication of the fullness of the keg.
