Set up a jar for mustard making.

Combine 1/2 cup yellow mustard seeds, 1/4 cup brown mustard seeds, and 1/4 cup black mustard seeds in the jar.

Add 1 cup apple cider vinegar and 1 cup beer to the jar. Shake or mix to combine.

Let the mixture sit for a minimum of 12 hours or overnight to allow the seeds to absorb the liquid.

After soaking, check the seeds; they should have plumped up significantly.

Chop 4 habanero peppers (wear gloves to avoid skin irritation).

Add the chopped habaneros and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the jar.

Use a stick blender to process the mixture until desired consistency is reached, leaving it grainy for whole grain mustard.

Taste the mustard; it can be used immediately but is best after refrigerating for a couple of days to meld flavors.
