Hi there. I am trying to get back into homebrewing and want to start getting my water up to snuff as part of my practices. I live in Greenville, SC, which has great water overall but probably a little high in pH.
Reports show Ca 1 Mg 1 Na 8 Cl 5 SO4 5 and 7.8 pH

I've tried the different calculators but don't know enough about water chemistry to feel comfortable just plugging random numbers of different salts in to try to dial things in.
Can anyone help me with a simple, base recommendation for what I should do for my water? I know a very detailed profile would depend on grains and intended beer, but I was hoping maybe there's a "general improvement by adding X g/Gal of this before every batch."
Does this exist?
Thank you for any advice!
