Thanks for the tips, it’s greatly appreciated.
We do use citric acid in our gummy recipe as well as a citric acid and sugar mixed outer coating. The feedback we’ve received is that the candy tastes great initially but the longer it stays in the mouth, the bitterness starts to creep in. We’re assuming some customers just chew and swallow the gummies while some like to leave the candy in their mouths to slowly dissolve?
We’ve raised the issue to our dist suppliers but unfortunately, not all grey market operators care for such minor details such as taste. We’ll be experimenting with altering the ratio of candy to distillate in the hopes that more candy will hide the bitterness of the dist.
I’ll definitely look into the Bucher funnel and this forum has really got me deep into the rabbit hole in regards to extractions and distillations.
