I am having a lot of trouble understanding stuff when it comes to the chemicals in water and the profiles. I have been looking for a week now for something that gives me ideal starting points for water profiles for types of beers. I would think there would be something out there but I just can't...

How did I miss that lol. You're a life saver. Thanks again everyone for the comments
