Great project. Not an issue, rather a request to gain insight on a couple design points.

Access to Scales/data outside unit -- From your description & diagram of Pi reading the BLE data from any available Arduinos, I am assuming the Pi was powered & mounted outside the kegerator and Arduino(s) mounted inside. Correct? If so, did you have any issues accessing the data via BLE reader given the insulation of the fridge? Designing mine with different units in mind and picturing fridge units with different thickness being an issue but have not tested yet.

Arduino mount -- Did you mount the Arduino to one of the scales or inside wall of fridge unit?

Batteries used -- It reads like you used battery power inside the unit. Can you share what worked best for you?

Thanks for sharing your efforts. Such a great resource!
