Question about G2G

Do you need to shake up the colonized grain jar at all for G2G? Can you just stick a flame sterilized spoon to break off clusters?
Also, if you shake up a colonized grain jar, do you need to do G2G immediately thereafter, or can you wait a couple days? The grains have already proven they've fully colonized at one point, so I'm guessing it wouldn't matter at that point.

Yes it will matter if you shake them and let it sit. The mycelium will start to recover and consolidate over a few days and they will need to be shaken again to break up the jar too many shakes can damage the mycelium. Here's a link to rr's g2g transfer video on youtube. Follow it exactly and you will have no problem.

Pour it? As opposed to spooning?
I think that's the first time I've heard that option.
It seems like you'll be ruffling more of the atmosphere by moving around something as large as a quart jar. Also, how do scrape out the last bits by pouring?
Actually, I think I'll do your straightforward coir tek for the remains lulz. Just toss coir on the jar.

never heard of pouring the grains out? the only time ive heard a spoon mentioned was when i was on this site like 10 years ago or for breaking up jars with sclerotia but nothing that need be sterile. do you really trust a flame sterilized spoon? the whole handle will be unsterile still and dropping its nastiness into your jar as it hovers over the top and you jostle it around trying to break grains up.
theres a real good video of G2G in a SAB i think from transcendinglife that is very well done and inspiring with his machine like precision. watch that and follow. and when you shake up the jars and break all the grain up every piece comes out except like 10-15 grains maybe which isnt really enough to care about unless you wanna throw one on agar
