I have done 5 brews with the gen4 and really like it. The one issue though was that even with the bottom screen in, I got a blocked pump on the first brew. I have used a biab inside the malt pipe ever since.
I think the issue is that when it arrives, the bottom screen is very hard to get out and I think I ended up bending it. I tried to reshape again but is quite easy to get out now. Without the biab I get a large amount of hop and grain debris in the underside of the screen.
Other than that issue is great. I'm getting my process dialled in now, improving efficiency and even started using the automatic steps in the rapt controller. It's also easy to clean with the recirc arm.
