I am all ears! 
Love the
Dm sent
when I pour and scrape I lay sheets of parchment paper under the molds while I do it in case of dribbles and whatnot, and its convenient in the end- use the same sheet of parchment for the de-molding and drying/curing

Seems like you put a lot of work into your pectin recipe. We have just begun to work with pectin only gummies. Before we were using pectin to soften the rubber tire that gelatin made and it worked really well. The first 5 test batches came out really nice. Still need some tweaking though. I am very curious about the heat stability. What do you attribute that to? I would assume lack of corn syrup.

Mine are better 
Edit: regardless of whether itās true or not, maybe yāall should stop arguing on a super useful thread.

Just split out the BS

Edit: please donāt post with some kind of mental reassurance that the people, who have the ability, should ājust split out the BSā as if youāre entitled to be an asshole here for the sake of winning an argument.
Iām not even the most active post-splitter on this website, you canāt imagine how much time has been spent literally just removing posts that are irrelevant to the conversation at hand.

Never mind, I read a little bit further
It was a Cart farmer question but gelled lines donāt seems fun
adding pectin to gelatin based gummies increases the heat stability, Iād have to dig but as little as 1% substitution of gelatin for pectin gets you an added 20% or so heat stability.

gelatin at low pH can cause syneresis if youāre not careful though
I havenāt dropped any gummy bombs in awhile, so here is a little snippet.
This was a recent DM, I received.
I am trying to increase this SOP to a 3375 ml batch from the 1800 ml. 2.5ml gummies, 225 reservoirs per mold. So my math skills are failing me i think, but I would love your input. I am doubling all ingredient requirements and then reducing it by 6.25%. My thought being just double it 1800 equals 3600ā¦225ml being the difference. 225/3600 = 6.25%.
I have yet to try the formulation but was unsure of my math procedures
I can definitely answer this question and did in their DMā¦ BUTā¦ This is not the best way to go about this problemā¦
Hereās how we do things nowā¦ and ā¦ THIS APPLIES TO ALL of OUR PRODUCTSā¦ topicals and edibles .
When you have the recipe that works for youā¦ use that recipe in your moldsā¦ as soon as the gummies are removableā¦ remove several and weigh on a quality scaleā¦ get the average weightā¦AND REMEMBER THAT NUMBERā¦
You will use that number untill you change molds or recipes.
For exampleā¦ I walk in and tell my guy, letās make 3000 gummies.
He simply multiples 3000 x 3.5563g for the total amount of material needed.
Then takes that total to the recipeā¦ that is broken down by %%%%%ā¦
No need to account for waste other than from your pocketā¦lol

They are knock off Nerds from Amazonā¦ I think $2 per pound Iā¦
A little project that iv been wanting to finishā¦ for awhile nowā¦
These are 100% gelatin, they dont require a coating. They are some what mostly non stick and can be bagged up instantly after de-moldingā¦
So 18 hours after they are made they can be packaged up for retailā¦
Soft enough that you can chew them, with your tongue and the roof of your mouth!!
