Yes. Amazing, you finally learned how it works so you can tell the other knuckle dragging troglodytes that know nothing but of what they see on TH-cam. You’re that one person in class no one likes💀🤡
Longer crank means higher torque. Torque is the force involved in turning something about a pivot. In other words, less effort for the candy maker to turn the roller
@@tombiby5892 and candy eaters die even earlier lol... I think there are a lot worse jobs an things you can do that will make you die earlier then turning a crank lol
@@goodfruitseason You still have to wash it down. I’ve had sugar crystallize on me when I had corn syrup in the mix. I don’t usually see people wiping it down first rather than multiple times throughout the boiling process, so I wonder if they just didn’t show that. What I see more of, though, is keeping a lid loosely on the pot so the condensation wipes it down on its own. Idk if that’s actually any better, but it’s what my friend does and she hasn’t had any problems with it that I know of.
@goodfruit111 Corn syrup helps reduce it, but can't fully eliminate the risk, if there was enough corn syrup to completely prevent crystallization, the candy also wouldn't harden properly at the end.
I love this new version of videos so much better! I love seeing just the candy making without the chatting going on as it’s so much more enjoyable for me, and doesn’t require as much of a time commitment to watch. ❤👍 I really hope you keep making more videos like this. 🙏

I've done exclusively packaging videos in the past and they didn't perform all that well. Which is surprising since I think that's everyone's favorite part
I’m guessing the hammer strike creates vibrations that shake the hook free from the candy? Why add air to it at all? Is it just for color or texture? Does it alter the flavor at all?
It's said there that adding air makes it lighter. Perhaps they do this to make the mix less dense and equalize its temperature from the inside out because the outer layer gets cold very easily while the inside of it is still hot that when they process it, the inside might leak out
@@mozzarellamaniac6300and it makes it more edible I think, I imagine they'd be really tough without the pulling? I'm no professional candy maker though!
at 4:10 when the candymakers are adding color (or is it color and flavor?), how much has the corn syrup and sugar mixture cooled? How quickly does the mixture cool?
How low does the temp have to get before you can start handling it on the table? Also, how old is that copper kettle? I’m betting it has to be cleaned it by hand?
It's more of a feel for how solid it is. If it's too liquid it just won't work. It's been passed down for generations, it's got to be at least 100 years old. And yes it does, hot water gets majority of it all off though very easily.
At first she clearly hits the candy, not the hook. I don't know if it was on purpose or she missed the hook. If the goal was to hit the candy, my theory is the following: the candy seems to be a dilatant fluid (which hardens on fast shearing speed), so a quick strike could make it hard for a moment and it "breaks off" in one piece.
They go back to it. There is a long low flame along the back of the pulling area, behind the slowly moving canvas sling. That keeps it pliable. After she pulls and cuts sections cooling speeds up. The candy still is very hot and pliable when he puts it into the bronze rollers. After that it's cooling fast, just takes a few more minutes to be able to drop the candy so it separates. Interesting to watch isn't it? 😊
The brand of flavoring you guys use is the same I used before. I find its flavor to be extremely week. I typically add it in after turning the heat off when it cools to 300. Even when adding 2 drama to a 1lb Bach it still has only a subtle flavor. Do I need to use more? Change the temp when I add it?
You may keep your hands clean, but most of the syrup would stick to the gloves or scooping implement. That’s wasting a lot of ingredient, and also making tools difficult to clean-up later with tacky syrup left on them. Hercules Candy has mentioned in their other videos that the syrup they make and use is quite thick. Therefore, the most efficient and clean way to scoop the syrup into the batch is by wetting their hands with water, then using wet hands to move handfuls of syrup to the bowl. The cold water between each hand scoop keeps the syrup from sticking and being wasted.
I wonder if you could do a tumbling process instead of using our hands to smooth them out. In certain times a batch could be done and being unloaded, while another is getting loaded to be smoothed out, but if it’s already effective then what do i know lol
I’m sure you’ve been asked this before, but what do you guys do with excess candy that gets sifted through the grate? Seems like it would be a waste to just throw all of that away 😢
Man I really would love to try this candy but the shipping rates are insane. Unless you order 100 dollars worth which is hard because everything I want is out of stock but 20 dollar shipping is crazy for an 8oz bag of candy that costs 10 dollars and I’m only 200 miles from you guys. Not your fault and I know i know that, just sad
man, if i was only 200 miles from Syracuse, i would be haunting the store. I just stopped spending money on 💩 pizza delivery and tasteless candy.....now i can buy the good stuff ❤️❤️❤️
You should try making it at home if you feel like it. Search up candy cane recipies and it will give you all the measurements. Im pretty sure all you need is sugar, water, corn syrup, and flavoring of your choice
2:18 *buys brand new shot glass, hands it to grandpa, father and son* "This shot glas has been used for three generations!" (I'm not saying that's what happened it's just a funny thought i had lol)
the vibration of hitting the hook makes the candy firm on the parts touching the hook, effectively making it no longer sticky and easier to lift off
correct!
she def missed the hook and smacked the candy xD
Thanks for the info! Didn't know that
Yes. Amazing, you finally learned how it works so you can tell the other knuckle dragging troglodytes that know nothing but of what they see on TH-cam. You’re that one person in class no one likes💀🤡
I like that you guys use a mix of old techniques and equipment and new technology. It’s the perfect mix between efficiency and authenticity.
Thank you so much!
Longer crank means higher torque. Torque is the force involved in turning something about a pivot. In other words, less effort for the candy maker to turn the roller
Yes but longer cranking distance which wears you down over a lifetime. Candy makers die early.
Torque is rotational force
Correct!
@@tombiby5892Source?
@@tombiby5892 and candy eaters die even earlier lol... I think there are a lot worse jobs an things you can do that will make you die earlier then turning a crank lol
The washing down the sides of the pot to remove sugar is done to prevent the candy from crystalizing and becoming grainy
I don’t know if it really happens that much when corn syrup is added maybe it is not to tarnish the copper?
@@goodfruitseason You still have to wash it down. I’ve had sugar crystallize on me when I had corn syrup in the mix.

After years of candy making what’s left to talk about? Ask any dead-eyed Oompa Loompa.
You're going to love this channel then!
I like this ASMR with subtitles.👍👍👍👍
Me too! It's great for relaxing and falling asleep.
Yea, and the subtitles are so informative! I understood everything.
Omg, I just grabbed a bag of these yesterday. They are fantastic! Sweet, with the perfect amount of tart cranberry flavor.
I'm glad you liked it so much!
7:42 The way that flows as it is folded is really neat to see :D
Pomegranate would be a really cool flavor for these, since they look exactly like the seeds
I agree!
Watermelon would also be a great flavor

The sound that candy machine make as it roll the dough...so nice
Hi Julia love watching your confidence each video. Words or no words. You’re a ray of sunshine!
Cranberry candy AND snowman clothing? These are a few of my favorite things!
What do you do with the leftover candy scraps that fall through the grates?
probably melted together and made into more
The shock of the hammer strike causes the crystalline structure of the candy to release from the hook.
that's a fancy way of saying it sends vibrations through the hook, loosening the candy haha
Hammer hits the hook so the candy comes off easier.
Somebody has been paying attention in candy class!
What happens to all the extra candy bits that sift through the grate at the end?
11:14
Same reason us mechanics use a longer handle wrench on bolts, torque is a very powerful force
It's like working with lava.
It kinda feels like it 😂
I love the Victorian era rolling machine. I saw someone restore one of those on another channel. It was fascinating. Good to see old things new.
I loved this video. Thanks from Brazil.
You're welcome and obrigado from New York!
I like how the candy on the hook almost looks metallic with the way it shines
I need a bendy spatula like that
Silicone spatulas are more easily available, they're great to clean bowls out after baking, just remember to share
10:38 I remember watching another TH-camr restore an old candy roller just like that. It was very interesting and calming to watch.
That candy roller is so satisfying
Wish you could do a whole video of packing candy and sealing it with the hot iron sealer I love the sound

That mix looks so delicious! Thanks for sharing your craft with us here!
Something I've never thought of before but does the table have built in cooling or is it just passively cooled from being a big hunk of metal?
We actually have it hooked up to our sink and run cold water through it to cool it down as needed
@@HerculesCandyASMR ah gotcha that's neat thanks!
I often wonder what happens to the fragments.
We unfortunately have to throw them out because they very quickly clump together and have turn into a sticky unpleasant mess
Hitting the hook with a hammer process is called
triboluminescence
It's possible for that to occur, but that's not why we do it
Absolutely love your videos. Thank you for sharing. 🍭
I just discovered that ypu had an asmr chanel ! Usually i say o hate asmr stiff but this 🥹🤌🔥
Thank you so much!
Do you oil the cooling table? And how difficult is it to clean the copper kettle completely between batches?
ASMR channel? I don't know if that is cool or cruel 😂. Now that I have tasted their candy, the sound really can get that pavlovian tingle going 🤤.
The fact that you muffled the sound of the hammer hitting the hook speaks volumes about you.
LOL I see what you did there. 😂
Crank handle is long to give you more leverage? Oh and so you don't have to turn it as many times?
That's what I was thinking as well.
Correct on both accounts!
Okay, who’s here watching this past
2 am as well?
(Nice video by the way :D)
It’s 01:54 here, is that close enough? :D
Where can I get a bag? Watching you make it for 20 mins can only fairly be followed up by trying it :)

Short answer for the long crankshaft: Physics
To see the long answer you need to...

Do they save the stuff falling through the grates?
Unfortunately not, it all clumps together rather quickly
@@HerculesCandyASMR thanks so much for the answer! Couldn't it be used in a bark or something immediately after making the drops?
I’m guessing the hammer strike creates vibrations that shake the hook free from the candy?
Why add air to it at all? Is it just for color or texture? Does it alter the flavor at all?
Same question I had, have they done one without pulling on the hook. Then I kept watching 🤣 got my answer!
It's said there that adding air makes it lighter. Perhaps they do this to make the mix less dense and equalize its temperature from the inside out because the outer layer gets cold very easily while the inside of it is still hot that when they process it, the inside might leak out
@@mozzarellamaniac6300and it makes it more edible I think, I imagine they'd be really tough without the pulling? I'm no professional candy maker though!
What happens to the bits that fall through the grate? They would be good for baking and cake pops. 😊
Possibly
Why dip the hands in water before scooping the corn syrup? Why not pour the buckets contents in? I know nothing of candy making and am curious.
It’s very unsanitary and not clean
at 4:10 when the candymakers are adding color (or is it color and flavor?), how much has the corn syrup and sugar mixture cooled? How quickly does the mixture cool?
Wait, why is the crank long? Did I miss the answer? 😅
Longer crank = less effort to turn the gears, because it'll be less rotation
How low does the temp have to get before you can start handling it on the table?

how long does a batch take from start to finish?
I love the 👄 talking
At first she clearly hits the candy, not the hook. I don't know if it was on purpose or she missed the hook. If the goal was to hit the candy, my theory is the following: the candy seems to be a dilatant fluid (which hardens on fast shearing speed), so a quick strike could make it hard for a moment and it "breaks off" in one piece.
The no talking is pretty cool. Like most Japanese food videos. Subtitles make it better
Woohooo 1st view. 🙂🙂 Always enjoy your videos. 🙂🙂
Do you use citric acid or citric acid with the ingredients?
"the desiccant is included in the tare for each bag" lol
People get worried lol
This. Is❤ soooooooo. Amazing
Thank you!

Have y'all ever used the crumbs left over in a cotton candy machine? Just smash them up into a powder? I bet that would taste so good.
You know what else keeps corn syrup from sticking to hands? Gloves
A scooping implement
Literally anything but bare hands
You may keep your hands clean, but most of the syrup would stick to the gloves or scooping implement. That’s wasting a lot of ingredient, and also making tools difficult to clean-up later with tacky syrup left on them.

Long crank means more leverage
Hello good job 👍
How long have you been using the drywall compound tool in candy making
I believe that it has a bigger crank 'cause the bigger the diameter, the less you need to roll it.
А мне очень понравилась машинка для карамелек. Выглядит восхитительно.

The crank is long so it can add extra power to push the candy through.

Those look like red octopus tentacles when they press thru the rollers. Could be a new name for a candy bag. Octopus Suckers, , Fish flavored!,,GAG!
But can I eat the stretchy form? 🤔
$20 shipping LOL. Yeah, I'll pass.
Yeah that's a bummer. Mine says $15.00 for just 1 8oz bag😮
I can't watch candy making if i don't have candy on hand.
I bet those are tasty :o
Why is the handle so long?
It creates more leverage so you don't need as much muscle to turn the crank
I want some
I’m not getting any asmr tingles from this. Honestly had to look up the term because so many videos have it in the title now
