BYO did a whole writeup on brewing the perfect pale ale. I know the brewing water was a big part of the article. I am at work now, so I can't give you any specifics, but I would imagine that the archives on BYO's website are fairly easy enough to find the article. It was only a few months ago...

I saw a neat little application called brewater 3.0. It allowed you to input your water values and then allowed you to adjust parameters to get the water where you want it. I was able to pick it up in an hour of playing if that tells you how easy it is to use.

If you want to play with it, you can download it at http://home.elp.rr.com/brewbeer/

I just got interested in how to adjust my water too. Figure ive played with the minor ingredients, why not the MAJOR ingredient.
