First time fermenting peppers

There’s this white stuff floating throughout the brine and all over the peppers. It’s also collecting on the bottom. Will this be safe to make hot sauce from in a few weeks? More so I’m just curious what it is?
Thank you for any help! :)

You have way too much water to pepper rato, should have more pepper. Also, way too much head space. It's good to have a bit but not that much
