I use about 1-2 tablespoons of alcohol just enough to get the oil to dissolve completely and easily flow and mix into the sugar. The small amount of alcohol just boils off in the hot sugar and the oil is left mixed in :).
Thanks man.
Going to have to decarb some more oil because ive just found out you cant just stick a syringe in the oven.
It can stand the temp but obviously the oil expands and pop. :dunce:

I'm not sure that stirring more would change the final consistency. Maybe you could add a bit more of guar gum and/or gelatine to achieve that.

How long did you dry your gummies before packing them?
I was thinking a bit more about this situation and because I still have like 100 gummies To dispatch and I need to revisit my packing method . The squish/melt appearance has to do with the intensity of the vacuum suction. The suction is so powerful it squished the soft gummie bear. So I am not vacuum suctioning them as individuals anymore. I will just vacuum suction the candy box that they are in. But I am returning to the thicker mix for the next batch because those are much more durable for variance in environmental conditions and tough travels .

I let them sit out for at least 24 hours room temp before refrigerate so I don’t believe that the issue is not letting them sit out long enough.

Yeah the stability of gummies is really the end goal. That's what i'm chasing also! Making gummies that seat in the fridge is really easy.
Making some that are really stable is the last step to perfect the process. I think i'm close to it after a few attempts.

I think you could try to let them dry for 72 hours. Mine are almost dry after 48H but i experienced that waiting one more day make them more firm.
After that i can let them in a box out of the fridge they don't sweat or melt anymore.

I will be more patient waiting for 72 hours room temp dry before placing in the fridge . Thanks for the help. I need to conduct more stabilization testing post refrigeration.

Great thread guys and girls.....thank you!!! Just decarbing as we speak. 2 ounces of shake from master kush ;).
Good luck!
Remember no
Lemon.
And stir for a while. If the mix get to thick you can always use a hair dryer to remold. That’s what I’m doing next batch .

Maybe if i melt them down one more time and re mold they might rebound better.

Sounds like a decent quarantine project .

And pix or it didn’t happen bud.

Lol, I know right , making gummies is no doubt tricky business. You have to be a real intellectual weed nerd to get involved with making gummies because it’s so challenging. But once you perfect it, you get treated with respect and dignity. Like fucking royality. And it can be a special recipe passed down from generation to generation. Or kept a secret forever.

Next batch is bho for me as well so I can make them just a tad stronger. It’s hard to add enough bud in the 1/4 cup of coconut oil I use in my recipe I also think I leave a lot of infused oil left in the stuff I toss :(

I just followed this recipe. But I didn't use a torch. I did like @Thundercat said, and just dissolved the decarbed BHO in a little Everclear. It was way easier than I thought. Everyone who's tried them likes them.

I’ll have issues with the everclear, nothing here over 40% but I’m hoping my daughter can bring me over something from Quebec that’s close to 200 proof :). Wonder if it even requires to be thinned or will it just melt and mix?
