Maybe, but it would take a considerable amount of time. The optimum temperature is actually between 64 and 71 degrees as discovered hundreds of years ago by the Chinese. If you have a full cellar, the cooler temperatures will are preferred in the heat of summer. In the winter, find a place by using a thermometer that will locate a place in this pickling zone.

If you don't keep your living space in the 70-75 degree range you can get mixed pickling results. If it is too warm, try this nifty trick: Put a medium or large blue ice block into an ice chest a few hours before you pickle. When you have loaded up the Perfect Pickler™, place it in the cooler. Keep the lid open, or off. Then, every 8-12 hours replace the ice block with another frozen one. It keeps the pickles in the 65-70 degree range and they love that temperature. After 4 days, place in the fridge per the instruction book.

If you pickled in a setting that is too warm, you will usually find some mold and a musty smell. Discard and locate a cooler spot.

Actually ideal temperature is within the 64 to 71 degree range. Pickling will occur in cooler temperatures, but it will take longer. There is usually some spot you can scout out in your home that will keep the temperature in this range. Use a thermometer and locate.
