Anyone mineralize water for brewing? - eviltoast

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!

    It is super cheap 🤣

    Only for coffee. Our tap water is hard af and destroys any machine it comes in contact with, but actually tastes OK most of the time.
