So, gelatine are the easiest, with infused oil. They donāt last long however, especially for a lightweight like me. So, highly suggest using FECO.
Shelf-stable gelatine FECO gummies
Firm chew, ~50 gummies, 45 min active. Metric.
Ingredients
Gelatine powder, 200 Bloom (the premium stuff) 10 g
Cold water for blooming 22 ml
White sugar 35 g
Glucose syrup 18 g
Citric acid 0.75 g, half for the cook and half for the coating
Potassium sorbate 0.06 g
Concentrated flavouring 0.7 g
FECO dosed to your extract
Digital thermometer reading to 120 Ā°C required. Test/calibrate with boiling water to make sure itās accurate.
I use for flavouring āFlavorah Mango Pineapple passionā. I hear Lorann is a good one too.
FECO
The complicated part. If this intimidating, infuse mct oil. For me FECO is worth it as less is needed per gummy, which is more shelf stable ans is useful for a lot of edibles.
Dosage
Estimate THC in your FECO, divide by mould count, I suggest to target 2.5 mg per gummy. Trim-based FECO is far weaker than bud-based, as i found, and also don't reuse someone else's numbers on this stuff.
Method
Sprinkle gelatine over the cold water, leave 10 min until rubbery.
Dissolve sugar and glucose syrup in a saucepan over gentle heat. Don't boil.
Stir in the bloomed gelatine over low heat until melted.
Raise to 105ā110 Ā°C, hold 1ā2 min, stirring. Never exceed 115 Ā°C.
Off heat, cool to 75ā80 Ā°C. Add half the citric acid, the potassium sorbate, flavouring and FECO. Stir 30 seconds, uneven stirring means uneven doses.
Pour into silicone moulds immediately.
Set 1 hour at room temperature, then fridge overnight.
Demould, air-dry 24 hours, flip at 12.
Optional: toss in 90% sugar / 10% citric acid.
Texture
Drying time is the main firmnessā¦ 48 hr gives a hard chew, 24 h a softer chew.
Storage
Store in fridge and/or vacuum-seal in small portions, cool and dark. Keeps close to a year. At 24 h drying, check a bag at two months for sweating.
Protips (?)
Always label.
Spray/wipe the moulds with (mct) oil if have a tricky mould. High quality moulds help. If they arenāt set enough, leave them on a rack for a few days, no issue there. Oven on 50oC for 2-3 hours if weather is bad and they arenāt setting at all.
One question regarding FECO. It appears that the evaporation step will accomplish decarboxylation. However is there a method for preserving the more volatile aromatics, terpenes, etc?
I love edible chemistry, i make more than i eat because of it :)
Unfortunately edibles using alcohol or oven strip terps. Im not sure how much gets digested, happy to hear from someone on that.
In terms or feco i would suggest this: decarb in oven (using silicon bag or glass jar to retain any possible terps). Then do the frozen alcohol feco (golden dragon style). Then leave with a lid off for a few days and itāll evaporate by itself or double boil it.
I've used a pressure cooker to decarb. With silicone bag or glass jar. I'm thinking I'll do a bit longer, but lower temp, in the instipot, so I can control that. I've seen some time temp charts, that I can use for guidance. For example (https://dutch-passion.com/img/cms/Blogs/weed-decarboxylation-temperature-and-time-chart_.jpg) I had a friend do a batch for me, and he def. over-cooked it.
This was based on a video though. I think I saw it years ago, but can't find it again. From what I remember, it was just like the meme shows - the girls were fighting and the dude was smoking in the background while watching the fight as if it were a show.

Recipe?

Vegan or gelatine? Vegan is harder, complicated and needs refinement.

I'm new to gummy science. Easier would give me a win to begin. Thank you for asking in re: clarification!

You aren't getting the step ladder jokes today?
I mean I'm all for beans but I am glad its getting a nice mix.
