While adding an option for elevation might seem trivial I can think of two important impacts; CO2 pressure for kegging and Mash Out infusions.
I live at ~8000' and must manually adjust for both of these setting. CO2 is an easy adjustment as I've found a handy table New Belgium built for serving pressure/elevation, still it would be nice to have that automated. http://www.newbelgium.com/files/CO2%20Selection%20Chart.pdf
Mash out is a PITA. I haven't found a way to override the default infusion temperature of mash out infusion. Water here boils at ~197* yet the software wants me to add water at much higher temperatures, impossible. Currently I fire up ProMash and perform the calculation manually. It would be great to just tell BeerSmith your elevation and have it not give you infusions that exceed your boiling point. Is there a way to make this adjustment manually until the elevation setting is available?
Thanks,
Dustin
