    While the brats are smoking, make the homemade mustard: Pulse the mustard seeds in a spice grinder until coarsely ground. Transfer to a small bowl and add the beer, apple cider vinegar, and salt and mix well. Set aside until ready to serve. Don't worry the mustard is a little runny; the mustard seeds will absorb moisture as they sit.

    • 1/2 Cup brown and yellow mustard seeds

    • 1 Cup cold beer

    • 3 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar

    • Pinch kosher salt

    Pull the brats off the grill. Increase the Traeger temperature to 500 and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes.
