Extraction Rosin Gummies

[McDee]

Yeah, I'm not sure why you suggest 1/4 cup per gram of Rosin of Coconut oil? That's a lot. You could do the same amount as the VG and it will mix better and not add a flavor as much as a 1/4 cup would. I decarb my extract in small amounts of Coconut oil often and it mixed well.

You dont have to with rosin, that's more for if youre using coconut oil made from flower. It isnt as strong as rosin so you need more. Just trying not to confuse people with to many different measurements. 1/4 is 2oz's, and I use 2 tbsp of VG which is 1oz. So it isnt that much more, it doesnt effect taste that much and the more VG or coconut oil the better it mixes. You could make with just rosin but would be harder to mix. Whether I use 1, 2, or 3 tbsp of VG or 1/4 cup of coconut oil I still have 1g of rosin. 1oz more of coconut oil will not make a big difference maybe 1 or 2 more total gummies but will blend much better. I dont believe potency will be affected. I have made both I cant tell other than a small difference in taste, not bad but I can tell. I can only speak for the way I do them. Whichever works best for you is the way you should do it. I do t eat often, just when going out and cant smoke lol.

As expected. I started low on purpose. I felt a slight buzz from 3, but at this dose I would start with 5 or 6 at once next time. I wound up eating a couple more later. Good taste. I am a THC Heavyweight, so for me it takes more. Think 6 would be a good start at this strength for me.

Guys, tell me why gummies? Why not just do chocolate? Isn't chocolate easier to make and just as good? Are gummies more fun? Or just an alternate way to do it when you get tired of chocolate? One thing about chocolate is it can melt so if you're travelling and using medibles you might need something that won't melt.

Cool, find your spot and go from there.

Sounds silly but I dont really eat chocolate anymore. Gummies no fat, well just a tiny bit in the VG. Trying to eat better every where I can. A lot of sugar but very little fat much less than chocolate. You can put it in anything that you can incorporate it into. I know a lot of folks like gummies so I learned how. Got something else I'm working on now but that's for another day...

Cool @Mcdee I kind of figured it might be diet related but wanted to check. I make my chocolate strong so I only need a half piece and I take that once per day in the evening. and i like the taste of high strength rosin chocolate.

I'm interested in making other candy medibles too just for friends and fam. But it has to be easy to make.

BTW I wanted to mention that I'm getting a bit of a leak from the ram seal on my press. The heat from the plates travels to the ram and up to the seals and eventually cooks it. I am sure this is a problem for a lot of people. Going to a hydraulics shop this week after I talked to the owner about this. He wants me to come by after hours and he'll take care of me. Either with some sort of high tech insulator between the ram and the plate or a new high temp seal. They sounded like he is interested in rosin too so I might have a new friend!

I have friends that like Gummies better because they don't melt. Also you can make individual doses and different flavors. Most vitamins come in Gummies now, so it is a good way to deliver medicine. Are they better than chocolate? For some people the novelty of a gummy makes them better. I just want to find the best way to make them. I can dose them properly now.

Yeh if we can get a nice simple recipe for gummies out of all the work you guys are doing that would be cool. I'd do it just because of the melting thing and the novelty will be cool with friends and fam. I got a few millennials to feed or errr I mean medicate you know.
