I know with grain bags you are supposed to break up and shake your grain bags when you get 25 to 40 % mycelium growth on your grain. But what about if you are using grain jars I know or I think I know that you don’t open the sterile jar to break it up when the mycelium covers 25 to 40% of the grain. My question is do I shake the jar to try to break the mycelium up and spread it in the jar for faster colonization? I never thought thought about it until after I did the break and shake on a grain bag and told a friend of mine about it and he said did you do that with your grain jars as well? He dumbfounded me because I didn’t know!!!

I have a grain bag that is almost fully colonized. And I would like to know if I have to move the grains to a tub and add a cvg casing layer on it to get a good fruiting or can I just leave the grain bag alone and keep it the way it is and just mist inside the bag from time to time? Some help or past experience will be much appreciated!!! Thanks
