    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.
