Decarbing oil

Okay here is my gummy recipe, easy as packing a bowl.

-1 pack Jello
-2 packs of Gelatin
-1/2 cup COLD juice (its wet like water but has more flavorz)

Mix those 3 in a small pan, set aside and let bloom.

Now figure out how you're gonna do your concentrates. If you're using shatter, you should of started your decarb before you did the blooming. I like to do it in a shot glass, so I can add my teaspoon or so of MCT oil to it. If you're using distillate, then same, heat and mix with a teaspoon or so of MCT oil. Very important that you combine these 2 ingredients before adding them in.

Now time for the rest of the junk
-1 teaspoon Guar gum
-1/2 teaspoon Cream of Tartar
-1 to 1.5 tablespoons corn syrup (adds a springyness/density to the gummies)
-loranns flavoring of your choice (not necessary, but you can add to combine flavor combos, like cherry flavor into lime jello)

Okay, so your jello is nice and bloomed (should be dense to the touch, your finger does not sink into it) add all your junk onto the top of it, including your shot glass of THC/mct oil mixture. Bring to a low heat, and mix mix mix. you want it to be a very smooth consistency, I usually mix for a few minutes. Nothing worse when they turn out a little grainy. So now bring the heat all the way down/off, and start squirting your jello mix into your molds. This recipe makes an almost perfect 150 gummy bears, works with my 3 mold sets amazingly.

Its a very simple process, I can do it in my sleep. Feel free to ask any questions or clarifications, i'm just pounding this out before I go to work this morning. I shoot to make my bears about 8mg's each or so, around there. You can add a mold inhibitor if you'd like, but I never keep them around long enough to need it. Also all those powder measurements I always eyeball, so those are rough amounts. but ratios around there work well for me. I found that guar gum works much much better for me than lecithen, and using MCT oil provides nice effects as well. I have not really noticed any negative effects from switching to guar gum from lecithen. No noticeable effects in onset time or anything.

I will check out adding corn syrup. :)

I currently use 2 packs jello to 1 pack of gelatin (i get it in bulk and use 1 tablespoon). I did use juice but i found the shelf life to be less than water. I use infused coconut oil so spoilage can be an issue.

I add some vinigar to them to give them a bit of sour which helps with the flavor (sour juice like welchies grape is GREAT in gummies but just make what you can consume in a week or so).

:D

I will also check out the guar gum to see what the flavor and texture differences are. :D I love a new gummy project. And i might bloom the gelatin...thats a good idea !

Jello is made to work so its no problem but that gelatin can clump up into hard plastic like bits. Thanks for the tips!

The constant pursuit of delicious edibles..Life long kind of thing . And this week i will press some rosin and decarb it and then give that a go.

I will make them half with guar gum and half with lethicin and send them to friends for review...

Hey @OldG in this post you are saying 2 packs of jello to 1 pack of gelatin. Do you have that backwards in this post? I just used your recipe yesterday and i used i pack of jello to 3 packs of gelatin. Everything came out fine.

Also @OldG the batch i made yesterday was much different from the first batch. I really squashed the crap out of the infused buds getting the oil out. Holy Fock balls 2 of the GG4 gummies set my ass down for the entire afternoon. I would like to think of a better way to to get the oil from the buds. Some type of squeezing device. Although i really worked on retrieving the most oil i still left a once of infused oil in the bud. I put in 3 oz of coconut oil but only retrieved just shy of 2 oz. I put a filter net inside a funnel and used the handle end of a screwdriver to press the oil out.

I suggest trying a french press. I’ve used a lemon squeezer with good results but that was with a small amount. Make sure you use cheesecloth

my gelatin may be stronger. 1 tablespoon is 18 grams (Weighted it). 1 tabespoon and 2 packs of jello make a very nice consistency with 1/2 cup water and 1/4 cup coconut oil.

The 2 pack and a bit of vingear they taste like sour jolly ranchers. :D

OH, for sour flavor, citric acid. I have it both in a granual and liquid form. Couple drops/shakes into the mixture when adding all your stuff, adds a lovely sour flavor as well. Sour grapes is my favorite so far.

@OldG That makes sense, a pack of gelatin is 7 grams, so you're basicly using 2.5 packs of gelatin for your work. Hah, I love how there are so many different techniques to get to the same end result. Back on RIU there was a beautiful 40+ page thread where everybody was learning together on how to make vape carts, I hope this thread turns into something similair. A great community discussion.

That is a great thread on RIU (Home made oil for vape pens). Some of those guys were real pioneers in that area and made a lot of the mistakes so we did not have to. There is a lot to learn before making cart oil.

My last batch i made i used 3 packs of the gelatin to 1 box of jello. I thought that was @OldG original recipe. They came out great and tasted good so not sure i will change that formula.

If you go too much gelatin they will go horse hoof. OMG the first ones i made a couple of years ago took fortitude to chew...the flavor...well its probably why i dont mind the taste of lethicin.

I will get some citric acid too thats a great idea!
@OldG how does 2 packs( 15 grams) of gelatin work with one pack of jello. I did think they were a bit chewy using 3 packs( 22.5 grams) but not much. After looking back i see that @Dino Party uses 2 packs.

yup, i've done 4, 3, 2 packs, and found that 2 packs works best. Like OldG said, too many and they become dense as fuck, and not like the haribo ones, in a not great way.

That's pretty trick
I was looking on amazon and saw that exact one 24.95. There were cheaper ones but this one had the best reviews. I thought about rigging something up on my press but seemed like it would be too much trouble. I have a bunch of the filter bags for the press that i do not use and they seem like they would be perfect to put the infused buds into and the squeeze them with the potato ricer.
