Let it rest and 'cure' a few weeks in a cold cool place. It does, i find, get more 'spicy' not only a day after grating, but more spicy after some time curing in your chosen larder.
It stores really well and cures more intense. I then freeze mine in thick slices if i'm overloaded. Big chunks that fit into my cuisinart grater. Heat up a bit of vinegar and water 50/50 and add your grated horseradish, chill and fridge. That bit of warm heat brings out yet another good flavor for sauce and creams.
