Fermenting sauerkraut in a crock pot takes around 6 weeks but sometimes it may be done in 4 weeks.

At minimum you can expect it to take 20 days for sauerkraut to ferment and the more sauerkraut you're fermenting the longer it usually takes.

The last time when I was fermenting a large crock pot of sauerkraut it took up to 6 weeks for it to be fermented fully to my liking.

Although it might have been done enough within 4 weeks but I let it ferment until 6 weeks to make the best sauerkraut.

Fermenting homemade sauerkraut takes quite awhile although homemade sauerkraut is usually much healthier for you than store bought sauerkraut is.

The wait time for the homemade fermented sauerkraut is well worth it because it tastes so delicious.
