List of Water Profiles

[.Peter.]

I use Brewfather but there are very few ‘inbuilt’ water profiles – an example being English beers where the only one listed is ‘English Ale’.
Is there a list of water profiles that list more specific beer groups e.g. from English Bitter (say London through to Burton Bitters), Milds, Scottish & Irish ales etc?

There are a limited number of target profiles but many more styles in the water calculator. The target profiles just list the mid point values for each style so if you want to make more targets you can base them on that.

May I ask where to find "the water calculator" with these other profiles ?

In the Brewfather recipe, scroll down to water and click on the “calc”.

Here's Murphy's view, which should be a bit more authentic than non-UK sources :

Similar to the Murphy's ones above, plus a few extra, from Graham Wheeler are available in this Calculator via the Target Liquor tab.

Now that is perfect, thank you.
Wish there could be a siimple table like that for all beer 'styles'

I think John Palmer nails it. It is your choice what you want the forward flavour to be. I like the malt in the mouth but a distinct hop flavour for the finish. I like the hop flavour at the back of the tongue to last for at least one hour. Personal choice, that is mine.
52-minute mark or thereabouts.
