I don’t know . This is my first time making gummies. I have a lot to learn. I am going to keep these in the fridge after 2-3 days room temperature in an air tight glass container.

They popped out of the mold great but the jello separated from the oil .
It might be because I used a generic brand unflavored gelatin or because the jello was sugar free. I am going to change both of those next time. I also need to somehow mix the oil and water much better I guess.

I found an ingredient used to keep the oil from separating, Guar Gum. If we keep going we may perfect this completely, lol

Molds

When you get the molds , fill them with water and see how much it measured. My molds are exactly a 1/4 cup. That should help you in your recipe calculations.

interesting. But not sure that I want the bulk and it talks about bread not a jello Or oil combo. If you do use it Please Please post results. I’m gonna try adding the sunflower lecithin and heat longer with a 15 min mix before I pour the mold first to see if that works.
your gummies look dank!
Oh they are. High quality organic home grown are the best!

It only calls for 1/4 tsp of Guar Gum, so it is minimal

These gummy makers all use Guar Gum as a binder between the oil and gelatin. I am going to make some this weekend so I will let u know.

I have been messing with recipes and this one works perfect. No separation, of oil and water, nice and chewy, will become harder if left out like Haribo Gold-Bears. I made green apple bears
Nicely done!! Your gummy bears look so good!
Thank you for all the help. I will follow your recipe. Do you have a special recipe to make the infused oil?

Actually you have peaked my interest in all of what you do!
but I don’t want to hassle you if it’s too much trouble.I appreciate your participation and help with the gummies.:D
It is no hassle, I use this potency calculator to figure for, hash oil, oil tinctures and gummy bears.

This is exactly how I make the hash oil with the exception I decarb the weed, 240 degrees for 40 minutes, before I start the first step with freezing the weed. I bought the water distiller off Ebay for under $80, it makes the process practically full proof.

I follow the gummy recipe I posted exactly. I don't think I said but I mixed all of the dry stuff together in a bowl before I added it to the hash oil, water, lecithin and coconut oil

My oil tincture recipe is: It will keep for over 1 year and will stay liquid at room temp, no need to refrigerate
1 or 2g of hash oil depending how strong I want to make it, using the dosing calculator
1/3 cup unrefined pure coconut oil, the one that gets hard
1/3 cup Hemp seed oil
1/3 cup MCT oil
1 tsp soy lecithin

I use alcohol tunicate, as its truly the best way to infuse cannabis into water based mixes, especial for mixes like gummies and lolipops! Why, cause when you get done, the alcohol is completely burned off, so your gummies taste just like real gummies without even tasting a hint of cannabis.

Here is my quick recipe... (makes 105 - 1 inch gummies)

Can Leave Them Out, They Don't Need Refrigerating, No Melt Gummies...

1 (6oz box) of jello, whatever flavor you like
2 packages of knox plain gelatin (7grm packets)
1/2 teaspoon (critic acid or ball fruit & fresh)
1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar
1/3 cup of light corn syrup
1/3 cup of distilled water
5 tablespoons, alcohol tunicate
1, 3 - 4 quart stove-top cooking pan
1 small bowl
1 small whisk

1. Mix all dry ingredients into a small bowl, (flavored jello, plain gelatin, critic acid, cream of tartar), use a small whisk to mix them all together...

2. place you 3 - 4 quart stove-top cooking pan on a small burner on your stove. set it to "MED", pour the light corn syrup and water into that pan. let it come up to a boil, once it is boiling, pour the alcohol tunicate into that pan. Now begin whisking the mixture. cook the mixture for exactly 4 minutes while continually whisking the mix. Now pour in your dry mix and cook for exactly 4 minutes while continually whisking the mix. Now stop whisking and let the mix bloom up for 10 seconds, then remove the pan from the burner, place on another burner and begin whisking the mix again for exactly 2 minutes. Then place the pan back onto the other burner that is on "MED", and let it sit there until to begins blooming upward again. Then remove it from the burner and place it on a warming rack. after take you whisk one last time ans whisk it for 30 seconds, then fill your mold with your gummy mix.

After...

1. Let molds sit out for 1/2 hour, then place in your refrigerator for another 1/2 hour.
2. After, remove gummies from molds and place them upside down on wax paper for 24 hours. Then flip them over and let them sit out right side up for another 24 hours. Then package or jar them up!

Other Notes....

1. before filling molds, spray molds with cooking spray.


Alcohol Tunicate... (makes 8 oz of tunicate)

Chop 1 zip of nice buds, or use 1 1/2 zip of finely trimmed trim. on a foil lined cookie sheet place your chopped bud or finely trimmed trim. Preheat your oven to 245F, and cook your chopped bud or finely trimmed trim for 22 minutes. After place your decarbonated chopped bud or finely trimmed trim into a 1 quart mason jar, then add 10 ounces of ever clear, either 151 or 195 proof, and place that into your freezer for 1 hour! After strain mix through "4 layers of cheese cloth", squeeze it out! Then place your alcohol tunicate into the freezer for another 1 hour. Then strain that mix through 2 unbleached coffee filters. Then place your alcohol tunicate into your freezer until you are ready to use it. An 8 ounce jar of alcohol tunicate can make 1220 - 1240 gummies, if you use 5 tablespoons of alcohol tunicate for each gummy bear mix! These come out containing 250mg to 320mg of cannabis in each gummy, yep they are pretty potent, happy me!

Ok, love how your gummies look. I need help working through the math so I know the strength.
8 ounces of everclear is 1/2 cup
1 zip of bud is 28g
105 gummies finished product
Assuming the THC of your bud is 20% and you are going to end up with 8 oz infused with 28g, (1oz) of bud when finished.
You will have 8oz containing 5600mg of THC total.
Each tsp will contain 233.33mg of THC or 3tsp per tbls = 15tsp in the recipe
Each ounce = 2tbls or rather 16tbls in the 8oz of tunicate. If you use 5tbls in each recipe that is good for 3 batches or 315 gummies.
Based on the calculator each gummy is 35mg of THC
Is there a typo in your post or am I screwed up in my thinking? Wouldn't be the first time. lol

8 ounces of liquid is (1 cup) not a (1/2 cup). Anyway... a tablespoon contains roughly 14.79 ml, so my math looks like this...

1. 14.79 ml x 5 (tablespoons of alcohol tunicate) = roughly 74 ml of alcohol tunicate...

Now, to find out the true (amount = (weight)) of (cannabis = mycerne terpenes, thc, [cannabinoids]) that is contained within your alcohol tunicate, you need to do a "burn down test", (you need to take 1mL of your alcohol tunicate and remove all the alcohol from it, then weigh whatever cannabis you have left. So, for example.... if 1 ml of alcohol tunicate contained 440mg (cannabis = mycerne terpenes, thc, [cannabinoids]) the math would then look like so...

2. 74 mL (of alcohol tunicate) x 440mg (cannabis = mycerne terpenes, thc, [cannabinoids]) = 32560mg (total cannabis = mycerne terpenes, thc, [cannabinoids] is contained in 5 tablespoons of my example alcohol tunicate)

So... if I now made 105 gummies using 3 x 35 1" molds, my math would be like so...

3. 32560mg (the total amount of (cannabis = mycerne terpenes, thc, [cannabinoids]) found in 5 tablespoons of my example alcohol tunicate) / 105 (the total number of gummy bears I made using 5 tablespoons of my example alcohol tunicate) = roughly 310mg < (so each of my 105 gummies will have that much (cannabis = mycerne terpenes, thc, [cannabinoids]) contained within it).

Then finally, if the thc contents in your weed has been lab tested, and it comes in at 20% thc, then each gummy would contain roughly....

310mg, (that is how much (cannabis = mycerne terpenes, thc, [cannabinoids]) that are contained in a single gummy) - 20%, (that is the percentage of THC that your weed contains) = 62mg (of thc is within a single gummy)

totals.... (a single gummy contains)

62mg (thc)
248mg (mycerne terpenes, and other cannabinoids)
