Shaking rye berries

I've got 4 quart jars of rye grains going at the moment, and they colonize quite quickly. However, every time they look like 50 or 75% done and I shake them, they come out with hardly any visible mycelium. I saw a video of someone pouring in some rye berries to a tray and it didn't look totally white, so I'm wondering if you're just supposed to let them go until they look 100%, shake them to loosen them and use them even if they don't look 100% afterward.
I seriously have no idea where all this myc. is going every time I shake the jars; it's like it's just disappearing.

You should shake the jars once when they're about 30% colonized to speed the process up. Then just let them fully colonize and shake once more in order to get the rye out of the jar. The rye berries won't look very white at all after shaking which is absolutely normal. By continuously shaking the jars you're actually weakening the mmycelium.

Thank you, that is both reassuring and a little annoying in retrospect.
