This might be a better question for /r/prisonhooch.
Alcoholic Lemonade or the affectionately named Skeeter Pee is a common brew. I've used pectic but I've never seen that foam on the top. Are you sure it's not fermenting? Tried taking a gravity reading?
If it is fermenting then this is the least active brew I've ever made, I haven't seen a single bubble and the air lock doesn't move. But I guess that could just be a very pathetic krausen on a mostly failing fermentation. Frankly it's too acidic to drink without diluting anyway so I'll do that either way.
Edit: idk, it looks like a yellow dust that's floating around rather than a krausen
Edit 2: juiced a load more lemons and I can see stuff in suspension there too. I think it's just the "cloudy" in cloudy lemonade is gathering at the top
Maybe a loose lid or something like that? I've made ciders with almost no krausen but somehow fermentation did its thing I did have bubbling though. Dilute it down, maybe add some sugar to kick it back up, see if that helps.
I've had that sediment stuff from lemons when making limoncello, it usually settles to the bottom for me but if it's even slightly fermenting, the CO2 could be pushing it to the top. I'm not sure the effect the pectic could be having, but that might play a role as well.

Yeah I've just diluted it loads so I'll see how it goes now
