Nice! That's where I would say "probably time to change the RO membrane".

It's a blank slate, you can brew anything with that water with mineral additions. See the Primer in the Brew Science forum.

I haven't really looked in the Brew Science section of the forum before.
I probably should have posted this over there. :eek:
