I use gelatin in more and more different types of recipes but I notice some types of juices change the gelatin. There any suggestions on that ?

Could you tell me a little bit more about what you mean when you say some juices change? Do they change color, flavor, or acidity? Let me know so I can better help you.

If I was making gummie candies, how would the conversions between powdered and sheets work? I ask because since there is a difference in bloom strengths between the powdered and the sheets, as you increase the amount of powdered gelatin in a recipe, that difference should be much more noticeable than in a standard gel recipe. Is there a way to know how that would work?

It is difficult to know the exact answer to this because there are so many variables. Most recipes will use a store bought gelatin which is roughly 220 bloom. That is the best way to try and convert a powdered to sheet using our guide.
