A bit of a recap from Step 1.

You empty the water from the overnight soak, by leaving the cheesecloth on and tipping the water into the sink. Once the jar is empty, you refill it with water. slosh it around to rinse. You repeat this a few times. This removes the tannins and makes it easier for the berry to  sprout.

After you have rinsed the berries three or four times, you empty the jar and place it on the counter, tilted at an angle, so it can drain. You should put a cloth under the jar, or put it in a draining board. What ever works for you.

You do this for about three days, although it could be ready in two days, as you want the sprout to be about the same length as the original berry. The amount of time it takes depends on the environment of the area you are working in – kitchen – bathroom – laundry room, etc. The closer you are to a sink , for rinsing, and a window, for sunlight, the better, although for the sprouting part you don’t really need sunlight, that is just for the final growing. If you wish you might even consider using UV lamps. I don’t go into  that here though. 

Now, onto part three.
