Proud owner of a 35l fermentasaurus (late Christmas present). Has anyone had any experience with them for washes?

RoboBrew 35L - Gen.3.0 A$369.00 would seem to be a good buy to add to a Fermentasaurus that price seems so cheap.

35l fermentasaurus could be OK for making a starter for bigger wash seeing its a conical and can harvest the yeast.

Wynum if doing that would you have to fully ferment wait for the yeast to fall out of suspension? Or just add a bowl full once very active? I do 18ish litre starters on big whiskey ferments but add whole lot once active usually overnight.. waiting 7_10 may be a pita..

Start with a low original gravity and would not take very long .
