Picked up a distiller over the weekend and have started to look at various calculator tools for mineral additions/water profiles. However, it seems the two or maybe three I looked at so far require you to tinker with the amounts of what to put in to try to match the profile.

Is there a tool/software that automatically calculates the amounts of minerals necessary to get to a certain water profile?
 
You certainly could get a program like Excel to perform a Solver routine to figure out potential solutions. However, it becomes complicated to make it more universal, since not all brewers have many different minerals on hand. I find that tinkering with the amounts for minerals I do have is not that difficult and certainly doesn't take long.
