Do any Rubyists out there happen to brew beer as well? I started working on a Padrino based home brewing app. Happy to share details off list if anyone is interested...or on if anyone wants to talk Padrino, which I like a lot now!

Hi Joel, I didn't want to abuse the the list with an overwhelming amount of unrelated hobby or product specific talk. Though I was hoping to connect with some other Ruby developers that share the same interest.
It's very basic so far, but here is a screen recording a recipe being created.
Basically I want a way to accumulate a list of recipes I like, and log the brewing results for each one. Also to discover recipes through other users, and view their brewing results as well. I'm working on it alone, so time available time is a challenge. At the current rate I might hit all the critical requirements in a couple months.
I decided to take a break from Rails and ActiveRecord so I could learn something new. I went with Padrino as the web framework and Sequel for the ORM. Although Volt was pretty compelling.
Padrino has been pretty nice to work with overall. I will probably use it for other projects. The learning curve was minimal because it's somewhat similar to Rails. It has far fewer conveniences but I didn't feel like I was missing anything. Routes and controllers are a bit different though. Padrino is Sinatra based, so if you've spent a lot of time with Sinatra then it's controller, routing, request and response interfaces won't be anything new.
Sequel is nice, but it's a shift from ActiveRecord. I think ActiveRecord is slightly easier to use fresh out of the box when it comes to associations and scope chaining. Though Sequel is really powerful once you get over a few core concepts. The documentation is extensive too. The library includes a lot of plugins (validations, hooks, timestamps, trees, and more) that you load in as needed on specific models, or across all models. Also when you need to dive a bit closer to SQL, I like it's query building interface more than Arel.
