I’m in the process of setting up a kitchen to make around 100,000 gummies a month.
What are some must have and nice to have items I should be sourcing?
Do I need a refractometer? What are the best pots for making bigger batches? Are hinged pots an option?
Also been eyeing that Breville Control Freak machine but not sure the $2K is worth it.
Thanks!!!
Refrigerator for full size sheet pans.
Bakers racks for sheet pans
Sheet pans
Lots of molds
Wooks
Stove
Big double boilers
There’s your basics
100,000 per month is definitely wook work. Me and my wook could get 100k done in 3.5 days if we had that many molds.
Damn how??! How can you make so many per day??!
Sucsess with edibles = ungodly quantities
And really this is a catagory of product where the riches really are in the niches
How about everyone take a food handling safety course!
100x better than any piece of equipment.
Accurate therm. Spatulas.
We refer to them as million dollar spatulas cuz that’s how much they save you over their lifespan, getting all the drops.
Yes and NO. It all depends where you are at in the manufacturing, distribution and retail chain. And apparently where your market is located.
Use a nice induction burner and pot. Try to find one with full temp control. It’s more precise and will lead to much less burning.
I’ll have legit gummy bear molds in less than 2 weeks. 300 cavities per mold. No minimums, and no I won’t be charging 180$ a mold 
What kind of shapes/sizes?
Same as the competitors. We sent them to China and reversed engineered them
We have 500 gummy bear molds in stock.
Bears aren’t allowed in Michigan, but let me know what else you get in
what are you looking for specifically?
Hexagon, octagon, etc. Good mouth feel. 4-5ml per piece
Edit: but I really kind of like my tractors.
Man that’s great. That’s an incredibly smart/easy idea you have there.
We could mass produce the tractors but our supplier is 300 mold MOQ. We could sit on a few molds but not sure how many others would want this.
