One thing I have noticed is that I use a separate water adjustment spreadsheet and then enter my adjustments into Beersmith. I would like it if the Beersmith had a little bit better interface for water adjustment including SRM based alkalinity suggestions and Chloride to Sulfate ratios per style.
The other thing I would like would be a written out BTU or temperature based heat absorption. I like to know how much temperature drop is going to come from the grain and how much will come from the cooler. Right now I need to dig deeper into the calcs to figure this out.
And while I am suggesting things, my coworker is getting into BIAB. Some type of expected efficiency based on grain and system efficiency predictor would be nice based on the graph here: http://www.braukaiser.com/wiki/index.php/File:Lauter_efficiency_and_wort_strength.gif Basically this would allow a person to know that they have a system efficiency of say 75% and they make an educated adjustement downwards based on the amount of grain being used. This would apply to BIAB and batch sparge methods very well IMO.
Anyways, these are just my suggestions, the software has been great!
