We’re giving away amazing kits from our new Make: Ultimate Kit Guide EVERY DAY — thousands of dollars worth of merchandise, including MakerBots!
To celebrate the release of our latest publication, the Make: Ultimate Kit Guide 2012 (and its companion website), we’re giving away at least one of the cool kits reviewed in the issue each day during the holiday season.
Today’s giveaway is a threefer, and a great way to get on-board with Arduino and to have some scientific [hick] fun (or to gift same). We’re giving away a Brooklyn Brew Shop Beer Making Kit, Arduino UNO R3 microprocessor, and the DrinkShield for Arduino (a combined $103 value!). So you, or your recipient, can start the beer, and while it’s brewing, you can assemble the DrinkShield, learn Arduino, and by the time the beer is ready to hoist, you’ll be able to tell how potent it is with the DrinkShield. It’s science!
Like all of the other kits in our giveaway, the Beer Kit and DrinkShield are available in the Make: Ultimate Kit Guide 2012 and reviewed on the companion website:

DrinkShield for Arduino review on Make: Kits
The non-kit Arduino UNO write up can be found in the Maker Shed

Electronics and Beer for a Win
I do beer!
Hook me up please!
Beer Comment!
You got your beer in my electronics! You got your electronics in my beer! Two great tastes that taste great together…
Anyone else paranoid that they’ve won something and didn’t set up Disqus right?
I wish they would post the initials of the winners who lost, just for the lulz.
Very much so…
Sure am!
Yep
Yep. I notice that somehow my Google+ account is now split over two different Disqus accounts…no idea how that happened. I worry that neither of them provide contact info and I have no idea how to find out if that is the case.
did you win the mind reading kit
Disqus? If we need that if might be helpful to include the link to signup?
This is not an entry. (hope they have a filter for duplacates)
What setup Disqus? I just clicked on yahoo and posted, I did not do any setups at all.
we need some clarifications here.
yeah really. how do we test this?
I am VERY concerned and I can’t think of any way to test it.
If I won a Makerbot, but didn’t know cause Disqus didn’t tell me, I’m going to leave an Arduino ignited bag of flaming poop on their doorstep! 8_)
I thought I was the only one that had no idea what email account, etc. to check daily, so I find myself checking all of them every day, which I have NEVER done before. ARGH
I replied to my own comment, and did not receive an email from Disqus to notify me someone commented.
Perhaps it requires a different use to reply for the notification?
Yeah, constantly have this fear!
i managed to get disqus to send me some kind of confirmation email so i at least know where it’s landing, i think…
We are being trolled, Disqus is a lie. <– my entry btw
Considering that less than half of the winners have claimed their prizes
(at the time of this writing), I’ve been wondering if there’s a Disqus snafu. And I’ve checked my account, wondering if it’s set up right. Still not 100% sure, really.
Then there’s the spelling of “Disqus”. Doesn’t inspire confidence.
YES!
I know what you mean.
And what about the one day that they were using a different commenting system?
ABSOLUTELY!!
YES! I feel like maybe I won stuff but I’ll never know because I don’t have faith in disqus
nice.
Mmmm…tastyish, if not gluten free
Alcohol and electronics, always a fun mix.
Me me me me me me!
Beer with Electro-lights
Consider me entered!
Beer, now you’re talking!
This is cool!
So awesome.
Yay Beer!
Yeah, this is one I could use for sure
let’s try again
This would be soooo much fun! Teach the kids about beer and electronics at the same time. Would my wife approve?
mmmm, beer.
I’ll take it!
