I think it sounds like you are making "tea" from the hops, so if you get a good idea of the color and taste you produce by boiling at your altitude, then when you are here, you just boil as long as it takes to get the same color and taste. Which is probably about 50% longer, like an hour and a half as opposed to an hour.

Why are you trying to boil something? I am soooo not a brewer, so I must ask.
