WSC,
i think you'll find the basics of brewing chem in the Palmers "how to brew" book thats online...
I dont think there is any real need to know much more than that, except to get a water quality analysis done on the water in your local area, so you can compare it to other waters, and to see what is high, and what is lacking in your water.
if you have beersmith, and know the levels in your water, you can compare the profile of your water against the one you want to match as can add the chemicals you need accordingly..
I freely admit that I was Very Very Drunk....
