Kit-A-Day Giveaway: Arduino UNO + Beer Making Kit + DrinkShield

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:
