Is it kahm?

It's happened twice in a row now. Can anyone recommend how to prevent it. I've had years of no fermenting problems, now twice in a row. I'm sad.

Damn. I used 2% and one of those swing top lids which is self burping. What I will say is that this time, and maybe the last time my weights weren't under liquid.

If it's happened twice in a row you may want to sterilize/sanitize your container and fermentation weights. There's a chance some of it hung around from last time. Although kahm yeast just hangs out in the air so I'm not sure if it'll have a huge effect.

Yeah you're probably right. I've got some of those tablets from doing cider before.

It's tomatoes, does it look like chicken somehow?

It looks like a electron microscopy of a cancer mass. Sorry.
