Homemade Mustard

I've been meaning to make this for a while. Here's the deal. Sara moved up to Santa Cruz for a postdoc. When she was here when we had a beer, we would split it. Me cause I'm a lightweight, she cause, well, not sure. So I've had 2 half-ish bottles of beer recently and decided to make mustard 2x. The recipe is from David Lebovitz and calls for equal volumes of mustard seeds, beer, and white wine vinegar. Plus some other stuff. The one thing he doesn't say, but I read elsewhere after tasting the stuff, is you HAVE to let it rest for a while, maybe a week, before using. Mustard seeds are gnarly when freshly ground - super bitter. I used a white ale for the 1st batch and Lagunitas IPA for the 2nd. Both seem good. This stuff has a kick!
