They melt in package at room temp? Over what time period?
What are you coating with now? Hard to guess without more info on your recipe and SOP.

You do realize a hotplate cant Hamaginize a big batch of gummies, right?
And I cant use the phrase “use your hands” this time, to get your goat. 
because your hands want get you where you need to be either.

I’m using a polyscience sous vide and some hdpe containers to bloom the gelatin and cook the final mixture. I’m talking about cooking the sugar in.
I’m not sure why you would plan on storing mixed gelatin. 
But a little birdie told me a long time ago, one can store gummies in the freezer…for a very very long time. However, this comes with a price, gummies defrost with a wet film. Never has this caused any great issue, just bleeding of the colors.

Thoes look great. We have the same molds. Dont recommend them for two reasons. 1st they are way too big, the bigger they are the more batter you need to make, that’s a very time consuming step. 2ed not every one wants to eat that much sugar.
Edit. I will say thoes look very nice, and I would be happy to consume a few.

I made these tonight. Test batch (no cannabis added) was amazing. I don’t eat many sweets, but man these tasted good. Used a flavor called Fuji Apple from Flavour Art.
I then tried infusing. Two different CBD distillates. One full of minors and much more flavorful, the other is essentially an isolate with a few minors. I couldn’t get the taste right. Went through 5 batches. Adding more flavor didn’t help, really just made it worse.
I will try again tomorrow. I’m pretty new at this, so if anyone has any tips on how to mask the flavor of distillate, I’d love the help.
What mg per gummy did you aim for?
I love Fuji apple. Haven’t used it in candy yet, but Flavour Art has been one of my go-to’s for vape flavorings.

Has anyone had any luck using leftovers for hard candy? I’m using pectin as my thickening agent so I may be dealing with different rules than gelatin. Just curious if anyone’s tried!
But what would be the measurings that you use of caranuba wax and mct oil for 1 batch?
Cook sugar to 145c and up should get you closer to hard candy.

Well like I said I am new to this so I followed some recipe some girl put on YouTube called Best Buds I mean they are gummy bear like but start melting over time If I dehydrate them they get super tiny and hard and since I want to make them sugar free it’s really hard to get different recipes for this so I’m tweaking the recipes here and there
Are you coating them with anything? Citric / sugar / wax / starch?
Could be a number of issues but without knowing how you store them and what the recipe you followed was it will be impossible to point to the correct direction.
2% caranuba wax and 98% Mct. Needs to be heated above 180 for wax to melt.
I just ordered certicoat 5 gallon for a little over 250

I’ll have to check my notes but I think I was putting around 10 grams of distillate per 550 ish grams of the other ingredients. After boiling I would lose around 100 grams of water so roughly a pound of candy with 10 grams of distillate at the end of it all.
Since the only ingredients in here are basically sugar and a bit of artificial flavoring, I don’t see there being a way to mask the flavoring of the distillate. Maybe some flavor other than apple would compliment the distillate.
Since the candy all breaks apart into different sizes, there would be no way to accurately dose these anyway. Fun to make nonetheless.
So sometimes I make too much gummy to use right away I store it in the freezer then I remelt it and dose and it’s worked fine. But now I’m having an issue where when I remelt the gelatine sometimes it ends up as like a hard jelly or a super goopy gummy. Is this due to bringing the heat too high and breaking the gelatine proteins or causing the sugar to want to become a softball/soft crack? Any help would be appreciated.
Would also have h20 loss and oxidation. Remelting will give you different results. I’m all for new batches

Trimmings from gummies, end of batch, etc etc I normally just roll them into “space balls”. Whatever lucky customer that I see first that I actually like gets to take it home lol. No time for playing catch up on such a high margin item. Definitely agree on just making a fresh batch lol.

I try to always work new batch everytime but sometimes I just have too much gummy to run by myself at once and I’ll let it set then wrap tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for 2 days at most. Haven’t had issues until the last few times I’ve done it. Maybe it’s the humidity or maybe it’s getting it too hot but either way looks like I’ll just have to accept the chance it may happen if I remelt gummy
Buy more molds. Run the exact same weight for each of your ingredients every time. Scale as needed and that should take care of the problem.
