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.
The process of making Sauerkraut begins by washing and finely slicing the white cabbage. The sliced cabbage is put into a large pot, a specific amount of salt is mixed in, and it is mashed with a cabbage masher.he cabbage is put into a large, covered, airtight container and allowed to ferment for 4 to 6 weeks. The bacteria and yeast begin the fermenation process. Over time, the lactic acid bacteria become active, converting the sugars in the cabbage into lactic acid.
