I currently have a Sawtooth with a 400mhz G4 and plan on dropping in a 500mhz G4. Is there anything special I need to do, or can I just switch them out?
I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.

I believe they can just be switched out.

Just did. Seems to be working fine. There is a kind of rattle, but it seems to have gone away. I'm going to check it out if it persists.
