Temperature affects the speed of fermentation. Between 60Â°F and 65Â°F, it will take 6 weeks to make sauerkraut. The ideal temperature is between 70Â°F and 75Â°F where it will ferment properly in 3 to 4 weeks.
For best quality sauerkraut, a room temperature of 75 F. (23C) is ideal; fermentation will take about 3 weeks. At 70F (20C), allow about 4 weeks; at 65F (18C), about 5 weeks; and 60F (15C), about 6 weeks.Temperatures above 75F will result in premature fermentation and possible spoilage. Keep track of the temperature so that you know when to check the sauerkraut.t 70F (20C), allow about 4 weeks; at 65F (18C), about 5 weeks; and 60F (15C), about 6 weeks.
