Another Gummy Recipe. :D

Jewels

Tilts at Tables
Dude , I will not be giving any more of those away, I think they are saving my life, actual.
I got hired on with my wifes courier company, and I retired her. I am punching both cards and that puts me in the car about 15 hours a day. Tonight will be my 28th day in a row.

10 minutes in the car and I feel like a first-year med student is trying to give me an epidural. By the end of the shift my back is a-fire.
After work I put my feet up and I squeeze one of those gummies between my thumb and index finger.
It has become a ritual where I tell myself that those gummies are exactly the same as the bulging discs in my spine.
I apologize to the gummy and I inform the medicine that it is about to relieve me of this burden, as it receives all of my discomfort.
Not a religious guy myself but this is somewhat of a Sacrament ritual. An itinerary where one thing represents another with clear directive and a prescribed purpose.
I channel the burning pain in my back through my teeth as I clamp down tightly, in order to transfer the pain directly into the offering.
I masticate every iota of discomfort, and I swallow it all away.

,,, and I am starting to get hooked on the taste. ?

Hey @OldG is this still your preferred gummy recipe? I read this thread, and your other one, and have a few questions.

I'm one of those people who almost never feels anything. I can remember maybe 1 or 2 times being affected, so I haven't been in a hurry to experiment.
Well, my mom has decided she likes the gummies they get from the dispo, and I've got a little extra trim I wouldn't mind experimenting with.

I figured I'd ask here what you (Or anyone else reading this) would do in my situation, with the materials and equipment I have.

I've got drying Watermelon Delight and Skunky VA trim, 30-40g worth.
The trim is mostly dry, and sandy with resin, but not yet decarbed.

I don't have an Ardent, but I have an instant pot type cooker, Crockpot, Oven, Microwave, etc
I'd like to use the Instant Pot for decarb and infusion. Can this be done at once, or is it 2 separate processes?
I tried making ABV butter in the pressure cooker, but somehow lost like 7 of the 8 Tbsp I started with. Even with the mason lid on "finger tight" lol

I'd need to order the Lecithin, Guar, Citric Acid, and unflavored gelatin. Any specific Brands to head toward or away from, or will the cheaper ones be ok?
Trying to stay cost effective, but also don't know if I'll use all the bulk stuff, if I don't like the whole edibles thing, even after making them myself.
I'm hoping something works though, and I'll have use for bulk ingredients after all.

Regarding the Jello / gelatin, are they 2 different things? I was wondering why the recipes call for half flavored Jello, and half unflavored gelatin.
Would the flavor be too strong, or consistency be off if you just used 4 packs of flavored Jello?

Lastly (I think, for now) here's my stoner math for trying to figure out the potency, without knowing the numbers in the trim.
Lemme know how far off I am, if you would.
If I (under?)estimate the trim to be 10% THC, and have 40g of it, that would be 4g, or 4000mg THC to the Cup of Coco Oil?
And if I made the recipe with 2/3c of Coco Oil, there would be about 2640mg THC in that batch, divided by 60, giving 44mg per Gummy?
If so, and the trim was actually 20%, would each gummy be more like 88mg?

I'm sure I've got a decimal wrong or something in there, so I defer to you pros.
Help me get Gummy wit it!! :giggle:

If you avoid the lethicin they will taste better and i get cohesion with just guar gum.

4000 mg of thc X 80% = 3200 total mg if your decarb is banging

i just order the cheaper food grade citric and guar..biggest bags i can get

The reason for flavored and unflavored is the flavored is probably 1/4 gelatin and sugar, color and flavor. The gelatin is a lot stronger for binding it up.

Willie has a good recipe that works too.

I can do it in my sleep...9 oz flavored..1 oz unflavored..1 cup infused SAF coco oil...1 cup and a bit of water, 1 heaping tsp of guar and citric...i put it on the stove and forget about if for 30 minutes or 2 hours..then the gelatin all blooms.

It goes weird and coagulated....looks wrong....bring it up to almost boiling and whisk it...low temp for 10 minutes and they come out BEAUTY.

Nicely together...the blooming makes a nicer gummy. The last ones i just made..i put in 4 grams of RSO i made too....man they are zinging.

100ish a pop...8ml gummies :D how do they taste? Better than a decarbed bud any day. Not too bad really.

Cool, man, much appreciated!

I saw you said the lecithin wasn’t necessary as a cohesive agent with the guar, but will the guar also help pass the blood brain barrier easier, or whatever lecithin is supposed to do to help those of us who generally get little to no effect?

I have the trim dry, but I’m still trying to narrow down the best decarb and infusion method.
I’m leaning toward decarbing in a water bath, in mason jars, no pressure.
I’d like to decarb and infuse at once, directly in coco oil, and another in butter. Any strong recommendations against this?
