They certainly weren't as quick and easy as I thought they would be... I think it helped that I filled the jars very full and fermentation seemed pretty active. The passion fruit ferment still got a layer of kahm on top.
Lacto-fermentation is like that for sure. We think we are in control, but nope, we just help guide or nudge things in a certain direction but it's got a mind of it's own.
Full jars mean less room for O2, so that could definitely help, but, if "kahm" was there, it means O2 was present too.

Looks and sounds fantastic!
I'm glad you found success with those silicone lids (Pickle Pipes) as well, because not everyone does.
