Fermentation time depends heavily on temperature - warmer temperatures accelerate microbial activity while cooler temperatures slow it down, often producing more complex flavours.

Trinn-for-trinn guide

  1. 1For every 10 degrees C rise in temperature, fermentation rate roughly doubles (Q10 rule)
  2. 2Sourdough: optimal 24-28 degrees C; refrigerator proves overnight = 8-12 hours very slowly
  3. 3Kombucha: 24-29 degrees C for 7-14 days; cooler = slower and more acidic
