Abstract: Method of controlling beverage dispensing system suitable for alcoholic beverages. A base unit comprises a control unit, a base-device transceiver in communication with the control unit and at least one visual indicator controlled by the control unit. At least one module is mounted in or on the base unit. The at least one module comprises a dispensing arrangement for dispensing beverage from a beverage reservoir. A computing devise configured to communicate with the base-device transceiver. The method comprises receiving an input from a user at the computing device and sending a dispense instruction signal to the control unit of the base unit via the base-device transceiver. In a dispense event, in response to the control unit of the base unit receiving the dispense instruction signal, at least one visual indicator is controlled to light up the at least one module for a predetermined time period based upon a fixed beverage flowrate and a desired beverage volume.
