Tried fermenting beets for the first time - got a weird gray layer on top
I threw some sliced beets in a jar with 2% salt brine back in March, following a recipe from a friend in Portland. After 10 days, I opened it up and there was this weird grayish film floating on top, not fuzzy like mold but kinda slimy. Turns out it was just kahm yeast from the beets being too warm in my kitchen cabinet. I scooped it off and the beets tasted fine, but now I keep my ferments in the basement where it stays around 65 degrees. Has anyone else dealt with kahm yeast on root vegetables?
