The U.S. was thrown into recession only a few months after Reagan took office in the 1980s, and the Great Recession had already begun by the time Obama entered the White House in 2009. Andrew Soergel and Ethan Rosenberg for USN&WR; Source: Bureau of Economic Analysis.
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.
Not just one bacteria either, but a whole range of different species are involved in the fermentation process. The bacteria don't even need to be added to the sauerkraut, as they live naturally on the cabbage leaves. All that is required to start the process off is shredded cabbage and salt.vergrowth of the lactobacillus, for example if the jar is stored at too high a temperature during fermentation, can cause the sauerkraut to form the wrong consistency. Likewise if the sauerkraut gets too acidic too early the lactobacillus get in on the action early leading to soft sauerkraut.
