Trying to make gummies, Failure

Hello All. Man, am I confused. On the youtube videos, I found 760 Glass. He makes a concentrate by putting decarbed weed wrapped in cheese cloth into a small bottle with a top and covering the cheese cloth with coconut oil. He boils the product for 2 hours.

I have done that twice. I used 4.3 grams of weed at 23% in a 4 ounce jar. I kept the water at a boiling point right at 212 degrees F for two hours. Took the jar out of the pan, removed the cheese cloth pouch out of the jar and squeezed the excess oil from the pouch.

Now I have 100ml of infused oil. Here is the problem…
I want to make 40 gummies. Each gummie in the mold holds 2 ml. 2ml X 40 gummies is 80ml. Now I have to make jello to put into the molds with the concentrate. How much jello should be made so that I can also use the concentrate? What is the ratio of concentrate vs jello?

The first time I tried the mixture of jello and concentrate it did not mix well. I did not use a lecithin so that was probably my problem. I put the mold into the refrigerator for 12 hours. A very few of them gelled properly, the rest were separated and runny.

I hate loosing weed like this. I read Caligirl’s way to do it and I might give it a try but I still don’t know how much of each (jello, concentrates) I mix together when blending them.

Also, you can add more unflavored gelatin. Just melt down the ones you made over fairly low heat and add more gelatin

Unfortunately because the gummies were not evenly mixed, I threw the mixture away.
(I am new to this)
so, the original question is what is the ratio of infused oil to jello to make 40 - 2ml gummies?
I have seen a bunch of videos on this but I cant find a ratio?

Thanks, from a new guy.

A little more info… I have 23% weed and I want 50 mg THC in the gummies.

I’m pretty new to this too. But I recently had success with a magical butter, premade gummy mix. I used an alcohol extract instead of the oil because I failed miserably the first two times when using coconut oil the taste was terrible and the consistency was all wrong. I’m sure I did something wrong along the way, but I had no problems with the magical butter recipe using the alcohol extract magical butter has a video on their website that was a big help in this regard. I’m sure there are better ways, but I learn better from success than failure

Thanks. While I infused with coconut oil this time I used chocolate as my choice. Still didn’t work.
I’ll check the video you suggested and I’ll watch CaliGirl’s also.
Maybe one day I’ll figure this out!!

@Rockdog62 G’day mate does it stink out the house when ya making it ?an what are the effects you get?am curious for the ppl that have a hard time smokin anymore, is it the same as a joint or wayyy more ? well done :slight_smile:

@aussie123556 ,
we’ll I put on the stove vent so it helps, but it is a strong smell of everclear. it doesn’t linger. barely smell the weed. as far as effects, depending on your consumption and dosage habits, it is pretty similar, but slightly muted. takes a bit to kick in and last a little longer. I like smoking but enjoy edibles as well. My wife on the other hand can’t tolerate smoke very well.

So far everything I have tried has not worked. It does not smell too bad. I work with it in my garage with good ventilation.
When I purchase a concentrate from the dispensary, the concentrate works very well. An hour and 15 min I start to feel the effects and at 1:45 I’m well on my way.
I will keep working on it. I will watch the two videos on gummies and then something on concentrates.
Thanks again for the help and suggestions.
