my father ferments lemon peel all the time so i guess that's not it. is your peel organic, or at least well cleaned? i imagine that the chemicals which prevent the lemon from spoiling are the same which impede fermentation
Good to know, I'll try again but will make sure the better clean the lemons!
Remember that organic doesn't mean no pesticides were used, but instead that the pesticides are "natural". Some natural pesticides are worse than synthetic.
i know next to nothing about this topic. it's just that in Germany there are citrus fruits marketed as having an edible peel which i figured would also hold for yeasties
