Hey all. I'm making my second batch of blueberry habanero hot sauce. First was awesome, so I went for it again sourcing ingredients from the same spot. This is over two weeks into fermentation, and everything is submerged in the brine. But tonight, I noticed this white powdery top in both jars that would make me believe mold or a pellicle from other microbes. I check my bottles each day, so weird to see it now.

I'm a homebrewer, so I know when I see this in a beer, I likely toss it even if not mold...

It doesn't smell moldy, but yeah, can't really tell since everything else was good.

Sad if it's a loss. I have friends asking for bottles of this recipe.

Thanks for any input
