    Ferment your own mustard , you are welcome 
    Got a link or suggestion?
    Whole grain seeds, I use yellow brown and black, 2-3% salt water solution cover the seeds , just over the top as the seeds will swell ( add more solution as needed) if you have an active ferment going, add some of that to the solution ( if you don’t, the liquid off an active yogurt will work ) next you will need food for the lactobacilli bacteria, you can use raw honey , dextrose or simply throw some onion , pepper any veggie to get the ferment active…. Give it a month … you can leave it while, blend it some or completely smooth, this batch is about 2 years old

    @lkapigian do you use equal amounts by weight, or some other ratio?
    Love you bro!

    Do you use it like a starter and keep adding mustard seeds and stuff to it, or do you have a bunch of individual batches going?

    Mustard seed I just eyeball , salt water I weigh to 2-3% solution ( to the weight of water) , food for the ferment I just wing, as well as starter culture… you can add as little or as much, the bacteria grows quick …. A 2liter batch just a couple few peppers is more than enough

    I think he ordered plastic and some mustard came with it.
    Not really environmentaly sustainable, but I cannot find it in jars that my  favorite wife likes.  It may be the extra concentrated BPA when you get it like this.
    Do you have an  unfavorite wife?

  • I feel like a request for extra mustard may have yielded all the packets you needed…?

    I do individual ferments, but you can do what is considered “ back slipping” and take some of your active ferment and add it to a new batch , think sour dough bread starter ….

    she was a forum member here back maybe 20 years or so ago. i believe her name is julie
    My friend is a professional organizer? (called something different - just can't think of it.) and did some things for her.  Sadly, she passed away recently of bone cancer.  Yes - Julie.
