"Robert Scott is a big fan of beer. For the past six years or so, he's mastered eight of his own home-brewed recipes in Denver \u2014 a \"great city for craft beers,\" he said. \nRecently, he started a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for the TapIt Cap \u2014 a patent-pending design that keeps beer in growlers fresh and carbonated. \nGrowlers, like the one pictured below, are large containers used to store beer from small craft breweries that don't mass produce. The typical size holds up to half a gallon of liquid. One of the downsides, Scott said, is that the beer tends to go flat a few days after it's been opened. A half gallon is a lot to consume in one sitting, after all. \n\"[TapIt] has got the same basic functions as a keg,\" Scott told Mashable. \"In testing, we've had beer that's lasted two weeks with the cap and still kept fresh.\"\nSEE ALSO: Brewery Generates Energy From Its Beer\n\nThe current prototype has a beer faucet, CO2 source and a pressure relief valve, meant to seal off air from entering that could cause the beer to go flat. The actual product will include a tap and tap handle in place of the faucet. Watch the video above to learn more. \nAt time of writing, the project was $17,000 into its $80,000 goal, with 27 days left to donate. \nDoes this sound like the type of project you'd back? Tell us what you think about it below. \n\nImages via iStockphoto, AleksandarNakic; Robert Scott\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
