It's always a surprise when the CO2 tank goes dead. It really shouldn't be - we know that a 5lb CO2 tank serves 5-7 half-barrel kegs. The problem is that we don't know when a new CO2 tank was hooked up, nor how many kegs have been served since then. After the keg history is implemented (issue #2), we can do this. Let's do it so that we can anticipate when we'll need to swap the CO2 tank.

Really difficult to quickly figure out whether or not we have already entered a beer/brewery/etc. Alphabetizing should be quick and should fix the problem.

Fix it!

We're going to need a green SRM again for St. Patrick's Day this year.

After #2 is implemented, add an admin-facing page that shows the list of beers tapped by date.

Make a view specific to viewing on Rapberry Pi / monitor in kiosk mode. Make text larger and more readable with some alternate styling.

Possible: Include a QR code so mobile users can get a link to tappapp on their phone

Depending on how the device works we may just want to store a max weight and publish the current-weight periodically so the device isn't doing to much work, but I'm speaking with no knowledge of what the devices capabilities will be

Nice-to-have.

After #2 is implemented, add a horizontal list of the last 5 (?) tapped beers on the bottom of the kiosk view. There's plenty of extra space in that view.

It's really irritating to have to walk around and refresh the display using the keyboard after changing out the tap. We can't do the simple timed auto-refresh any more, now that free Heroku servers only offer 12 hours of uptime a day.

However, we can have our back end push updates to Pusher, and have a free Pusher service push those updates to our kiosk view via a Pusher websocket. Even if that pusher update simply did a refresh of the page, it's better than nothing and wouldn't require changes to our Heroku setup.

For some beers (e.g. Odell IPA), the name is really generic and there are multiple beers with that name. There's no way to get to the beer you want if there are 10 results and your match is the sixth one in that list. Increasing the number of typeahead results would be a quick workaround to this problem.

Use flexbox or another layout trick in order to make the New Beer, New Brewery, etc. buttons always visible. It's super irritating to have to scrub all the way to the bottom on mobile in order to add a beer/brewery/etc.
