Quick opinions on water

[Carrollyn]

Ok, latest.
She hasn't got a water profile on it, but I've lived in the area, and I know it is harder than one usually uses for brewing, even though It's clean and clear. She wants to make an IPA, which is why I'm concerned about the alkalinity. I do want the least complicated (and most likely for success) water method for a first time brewer who is working really hard to just get the whole rest of the brewing process, err, processed.
I suggested two choices: either use 50-50 RO water from a machine plus her well water, or buy some bottled drinking water. She told me she chose to buy some bottled drinking water.
I will let you know the results. The plan is to brew the day before Thanksgiving day.

Do you have a mineral profile of her well water? Or something useful to start with?

If you have space in the car, 2 brew buckets with lids and your water would fill the ticket.

I absolutely don't have space in the car!
If all goes well with this brew day, then I expect she will work on getting a water profile and figure out best practices for next time.
