Convert Celsius and Fahrenheit, then see how your temperature range affects fermentation speed and safety.

69.8 deg F

Fermentation data is shown in both deg C and deg F for quick reference.

Fermentation impact: Balanced

Steady fermentation pace with reliable acidity and flavor development.

Ideal for most vegetable ferments.

Fermentation Temperature Zones

Very cold

Fermentation nearly stalls. Expect sluggish activity and longer timelines.

Below 10 deg C (50 deg F)

Cool and slow

Slower acidification and crisp texture. Expect a longer ferment.

10-18 deg C (50-64.4 deg F)

Balanced

Steady fermentation pace with reliable acidity and flavor development.

18-24 deg C (64.4-75.2 deg F)

Warm and fast

Fast fermentation. Flavor develops quickly, texture can soften.

24-28 deg C (75.2-82.4 deg F)

Very warm

Too warm for most ferments. Risk of mushy texture and off flavors.

Above 28 deg C (82.4 deg F)
