cALCULATE WEIGHT
Need to figure out the weight of your gummy by the volume?
A typical gummy is about 80-82 Brix (% total solids), as measured on a refractometer at room temperature.
The weight is about 1.4 the weight of water, for the same volume.
So multiply the volume of your mold cavity by 1.4 to get the weight of a gummy from that mold.
Example: 3 ml x 1.4 = 4.2 gram gummy

Example for Cavity Calculation weight

Know your cavity volume
Measure with water your cavity volume, we recommend you to use a syringe. If you buy from Vector Molds make sure to note the cavity volume.
In this example the cavity volume is 1 mL
Make fun calculations
With the 1.4 density gummy factor multiply the cavity volume.
in this case 1 mL x 1.4 g/mL = 1.4 g
Weight of a single cavity
Perfect! Now we know that the weigh of a single cavity is 1.4g.
Example For Full Mold Calculation Weight
Weight of the full candy mold
Now multiply your 1.4 g per the number of cavities. In this case 1.4 g x 478 cavities= 669.2g
Weight of your mixture
Good to go! Now we know the full weight of your mixture is 669.2g
