I typically use the 40% rule for my liquid cultures. When the mycelia consumes 40% or more of the solution it's ready for use. Just eyeball it. Make sure and agitate the solution everyday to keep the mycelia growing.

That seems awfully rich. Use 20 grams of malt and 2 grams of yeast per liter of water.
Since a liter of water weighs one kilogram, 4% of 1000 grams equals 40 grams, which is twice the amount I gave. RR

2-4% is the range that is usually used. Your 4% jars should be fine.
