I use the chrain recipe in the Balabuste's Choice for Pesach cook book, But I changed it by using part cooked beets and part raw beets and I use vinegar instead of lemon juice...Mine tastes just like the stores and I make so much of it that it lasts us all the way until Shavuos (I freeze any extras)

Nope, you didn't miss anything There is no official recipe in the family and I previously posted what I had written down as the the non recipe. But I double checked now based on your review. Sometimes asking during the season when it's fresh on one's mind results in clearer recollection. Sorry about that

Yes, for the one making the recipe. But not so much when giving it over

Okay, so am I meant to add water? If yes, how much? Also, does it come out better with vinegar or with lemon juice?

As far as how much water, only as much as you need for it to look wet and juicy like store bought.

unless we speak cook language which is why I understood you [and I don't give out a lot of recipes that are in my head]

Thank ra_mom! So would that be added after the cup of vinegar if it still requires liquid?

my chrain keeps coming out too sharp. Many times it is sharper than the maror without the beets. Any ideas?

Forget the cup. Just use a drop of vinegar and then sugar to taste. Add water rifle needed. This should help with sharpness too.
And if you need to, increase the amount of beets to horseradish.

I use raw beets and always add water to get the right consistency. If chrain is too sharp then add another beet or 2 and more sugar. You might also need more lemon juice. I make this often and even though I have a recipe, you really have to play around with it to get it just right. Also, it doesn't stay as sharp when it sits in the fridge for a few weeks.

I added beets to horseradish already, but maybe I am off, what is the best ratio of beets to horesradish?

leave it out for a bit, that should take away some of the sharpness
