How would you fruit this small grain jar?

I got some colonizing jars which are exactly that small. Since my PC is small, I can stack a few of small grain jars. How can I fruit that amount spawn?
Should I use mini monotub? But I think even Pasty's mini monos seems a bit large for that amount of spawn. Or should I make a very little monotub?
Bod's Easy AF SHOEBOX seems more suitable IMO. Any other ideas?
I know some will say go for g2g, but I really like to learn how I can fruit that much spawn. I searched forum about this, but couldn't really find anything.
Oh another question, does my jar look contaminated? I think not, but I am pretty sure there was white dots on grain (yeast contamination). After a couple shakes, it seems like they are gone, or doesn't it I am going to fruit it anyways tho. But let me know if you would toss that jar.

I prefer Unmodified shoeboxes. Flip the lid after 10-14 days. Try to keep the sub around 3 inches in a shoebox.. you can go taller, but then you will need to dub tub or put a plastic bag over the top to give the mushrooms room to grow.
My favorite part about shoeboxes is they require less spawn, and I typically only use 2 jars. You could even use one and get similar results, just slower colonization. This is good if you're kinda lazy with your sterile tek and think maybe a jar might be contaminated but still wanna take the risk of spawning it. If it IS a bad jar, at least you didn't mix up a healthy jar with it.
If you have A LOT of spawn, and A LOT to me would be say, anything over 50 quarts. At that point, you might prefer to use Monotubs, since you could put 8-9 quarts of spawn in one, but youre then taking a bigger risk with your spawn (again, only if youre unsure about your sterility).
Shoeboxes are great for me as well because you can fit 20 shoeboxes on a AmazonBasics 5-tier shelf which is only $40 and of course vertical space is ideal in a tiny home like mine. Also, if you have visitors, you can just roll the shelf (they come on casters) into a closet or another room to keep it private.
One time, my girlfriends dad paid a surprise visit when we had 12 monotubs sitting right in the living room, and it's not exactly fun trying to hide that many tubs while someone is waiting at your front door to be let inside.

lol hold on dad let me shuffle around with these tubs real quick.
That jar isn’t bad but it’s got some bacteria.
I’d probably just sprinkle a layer of coir on top once it’s colonized. Too small to do anything else really.

Can't I just fruit it in a very small shoebox with a grocery store bag? I mean, it seems possible to me, dont you think so?
Well yeah, I got this ready-to-use (already hydrated). I tested it and it's at its field capacity. Can I use this coir without pasteurizing it?

For sure, coir doesn’t need anything special.

Thanks man! You've always been a great help! I mixed this jar with coir and made a small shoebox, and put it in my mini 22 q monotub. I really hope that the jar isn't contaminated.

One time we smelled smoke and couldn't find where it was coming from at 3AM. Had to quickly run 25 tubs and other suspicious gear out to the garage and hide them haha Turned out my gf thought she plugged her laptop charger into a power strip but accidentally plugged a straightening iron in that was buried in a pile of laundry.
