Faster Gummy Curing / Drying? Skin on top of molds?

Been in the trenches 18 hrs / day past 2 weeks making pectin gummies.

We’ve nailed the cook & pour — or we’re making good gummies at least.

I have about 9 full speed racks of gummies curing (drying). About the same number of gummies in the fridge ready to package. PH around 3.5 to 3.6 & proper sugar to humectant ratio.

I’m not tubbing them for the fridge until I see .62 to .65 AW. That may be lower than others go — not sure. My gummies used to sweat above .65 but I’ve greatly improved my recipe since.

I’m pouring at 78 to 79 brix. Still, they’re taking about 5 to 7 days to dry / cure!!

Anyone have any tips for speeding this up?

Also, any tips for avoiding skinning on top of molds? This has improved with recipe improvement, but still an issue. Lots of dead space on our molds.

Skinning is always an issue with pectin

I’ve yet to see anyone who flood and scrapes that doesn’t have to deal with it

You should be using a dehu to help cure, mine only take 2 to 3 days max

This is extremely weird to read to me. Full pectin should be curing extremely fast.

You might want to look into different types of pectin than you’re currently using. Ours finish in less than 24 hours.

Sounds like you need a different pectin.

Forgot to mention my curing environment is good. Nice airflow + 68 to 72 F + ~30% humidity.

Please share scrape-master!!!

We are using slow-set… maybe now that we have recipes down we should switch to a faster set? We do need to order more… @Dr.stanky seems to agree.

Ah. Then he’s a fraud.

What AW do you bin / bag at though? Waiting for same range as me? .62 to .65

This was taken 10 minutes after the pour… no where near ready to de-mold…
But very close with our new SOP…

HaHa riddle me this … riddle me THAT.

They look good!

Trying our square molds today. I understand square molds are much less likely to skin due to having almost no dead space.

Our recipe is very dialed-in now so I don’t imagine I will have skinning with these.

Skinning on our coin molds is becoming less of an issue. I’m going to try spraying coconut oil (right?) on before pouring and see if that gets us there.
