Spicy German Style Mustard

Feb 28 2014

Mustard is one of my favorite condiments. I like it on about any sandwich and will even add a good tablespoon to my chili right before eating it. At any one time I usually have 4 kinds on hand. My favorite standard yellow is Plochmans, I like Dijon, country style and good German style. My favorite lately was German Lowensenf  Extra and just bought some Dusseldorf style that is good. The grocery quit carrying the Lowensenf.

I think it was last year I made some homemade that was supposed to be German style but I didn’t care for it. I found a new recipe that sounded good to me. I am not sure where the recipe came from, I found it at 4 or 5 places on the net and all were almost exactly alike so I think it is safe to post here.

I got the mustard seeds soaking in the beer and apple cider vinegar for overnight in the fridge. After baking a loaf of bread this morning I made up the mustard. I made mine smooth and thought it came out great, just the right amount of heat for me. It makes the right amount for one family, just over a pint. I will make this recipe again.
