Fluid line monitoring and control assembly

A fluid line monitoring and control assembly comprising:

• a valve comprising an inlet port and an outlet port, wherein the valve is configured to be insertable in-line with a conduit connecting a storage vessel to a dispensing tap with the valve being positioned proximate to the storage vessel, wherein the valve is configured for selectively terminating flow of a beverage through the conduit;
• a flow meter comprising an entry port and an exit port, wherein the flow meter is configured to be insertable in-line with the conduit proximate to the valve, wherein the flow meter is configured for detecting the flow of a beverage passing through the conduit and for generating a voltage signal;
• a controller being communicatively engaged to the valve and the flow meter such that the controller is enabled for receiving the voltage signal, the controller being programmed for integrating the voltage signal to determine a volume of the beverage flowing through the conduit, the controller being programmed with an algorithm for evaluating the voltage signal for a change in one or more of magnitude, stability, and frequency to determine if the beverage passing through the conduit has changed between a liquid state and a foam state;
• a power supply unit
• a power supply unit being operationally engaged to the controller, the valve, and the flow meter.
