Anyone mineralize water for brewing? (lemmy.world)

We just installed a reverse osmosis (RO) filter system at our house, because the tap water tastes gross. I tested the TDS and it was 3ppm! I thought "oh that must be great, pure water," but my friend told me you actually want minerals in there to help extract.

So... Anyone else in this boat? I know there are RO systems that will remineralize after the filter, but ours doesn't.. And I don't think I want to uninstall this beast. I know there are little drops you can add, but they seem expensive... Just wondering what y'all other home brewers do. Thanks!

There’s third wave, I’ve never used them so can’t say whether it’s any good

This looks super easy, and probably not that expensive when you divide it all out. It'd be fun to try the different profiles. Thanks for the link!
