AG brewer since 2007. Current rig is a clone plus extras of http://theelectricbrewery.com. I like most styles of beer.

Projects in progress are a custom kegbot that tracks beer consumption without a flowmeter, a brewpi fermentation controller and a digital specific gravity meter.

comment Keg Management Systems
While you may know the current state of each keg, what about history? It's also useful to know which beers were in which kegs, when they were racked, carbonated and finished in each keg. This amount of data is easily too large for someone to keep track of, especially with a hobby that is typically not a homebrewer's sole focus - family, work and other interests all add to the mental load.

comment Brew from an out of date kit - not fermented
Did you see a krausen in the brew bucket? A thick off white foam on top of the beer? If not, the yeast were dead and the beer has been feremneted by wild yeast and bacteria. Did you taste the gravity sample? That will give you an indication about whether it's worth continuing with this brew or not.

comment How much peated malt to get a hint of smoke?
I'd say <1% complexity, %1 very light smoke, %2 balanced smoke, %3 stronger smoke, >=%4 who put out a fire in my beer. But it does depend upon what other flavors the peat is stacked up against. An Irish Red can be smooth and low in flavor so probably best to stick with the low end.

comment Specific gravity is the wrong way
+1 top advice - I overlooked the FG. (Although some sources say to lager when the gravity is 2/3 FG, which is about right here.)
