Anybody interested in water profiles can go to Brewers Friend and click on tools, then water profiles. Hundreds of them posted by users, found two from our local water source,all of Western Lake County has the same source, one from Mentor, Oh and one from Willoughby, Oh and they matched, one was posted by my LHBS . Here is the link:

The LHBS told a group of us at the monthly forum about this. Scrolling thru I noticed Madison, WI has a bunch of different profiles depending on what well the water source is coming from.

Nice, the problem with the source I have is that it was run through a carbon filter first. So I don't have a true sample. But it gives me an idea if I were to run it through a carbon filter where I would be.

I think the Britta type filters are carbon filters, also can get those under the sink steups and use carbon filter, that would get you pretty close I'd imagine.

I just learned this while listening to a podcast last night. Never viewed it yet but this is good stuff.
Funny, my suburb is bigger than New Orleans yet we're not listed. Wonder if I should post mine.
