Any DI water for brewing?

[Turfgrass]

I made up 10 gal of di water from my ro/di 4 stage water filter. Reading 0 ppm and a ph of 5.23. Is it okay to go 100 percent di or should I cut it with ro or tap? It does have a different taste to it, but thought the water additions, such as, cacl and caso4 would change that along with hops and grains. Thanks in advance.

It will be fine to use, but you'll want to add some sort of salts to the water for flavor. Beer is actually blander when brewed without salts.

+1 what mabrungard said, you need some salts. Take a look at some of the famous brewing water profiles and use one that's appropriate for the style you're brewing.
