Mustard, take 2

I made a new batch of mustard, identical to the first except for two things:


  • 30% yellow mustard seeds (3 oz yellow, 7 oz brown).
  • Coarse grind--only 3 minutes.
The flavor of the new mustard, immediately after grinding, was much milder than the flavor of the old mustard, which is now more than a month old.

That said, there's less than 1 cup of mustard left from the first batch. That means that I went through more than three cups of mustard in a month. Evidently, I liked it just fine... :-)

This batch was extremely well-received by the people to whom I gave each jar. My brother in law said the only thing that makes it less than perfect is that it had too much kick. So I will go for even more yellow next batch.
