You can do exactly the same thing (and I have done it myself) with a few 2 litre plastic bottles, some ordinary apple juice and a sachet of yeast. Less than a week and you have perfectly drinkable poor-mans' cider.

Yes, chaps, you should have pitched a music business. You could have been the new Hamfatter.

I'm confused. What was Peter's issue just before Duncan invested? They were all saying it was a good one after they walked off. Why was Peter freaking out so much asking for another drink?

Talking of drinking there is a new addition this series to the Dragon's Den Drinking Game!
Consume a box full of this home brew cider kit whenever there is yet another reference to Deborah Meaden and Strictly Come Dancing! |

And then the sudden about turn, I don't get why Peter was suddenly like 'wish I had stayed in' when they picked some projected profit numbers out of thin air... |

Has Peter become a slightly vindictive therapist or something? Every week he picks on one of the pitchers, says something along the lines of 'You've had it tough haven't you?', then repeats things like 'You've GOT NOTHING LEFT' until they cry.
Then the knight in shining armour says..'I'm out'.

I was under the impression they were good friends? I do recall Duncan saying Peter was very kind when Duncan's wife left him. I suppose we all have our off days though.

I thought I had read that there was a reason they sat on opposite sides of the room, but I can't remember where I had read it, so maybe you are right

I got really good at home brewing but could never get results that tasted anywhere near as good as the mass produced stuff you can buy in the shops so in the end I gave up and decided that even a really cheap £2 bottle of no frills wine from Aldi tasted better than the stuff you can do yourself. I guess home brewing is OK if you don't mind drinking shite and just just wanna get pissed cheaply but if you want a half decent tasting wine then there are far better alternatives. I tried the more expensive wine kits which I got quite good results with but to get one that tastes as good as the wine you can buy in the shops then you have to pay about £15 a kit. With all the faffing around you have to do it's not really worth the bother. Like Peter Jones said, it's a fun novelty thing to do that appeals to students who don't mind getting hammered on cheap nasty rubbish but you can buy a 3l bottle of cheap no frills cider in Asda for about £2 that I guarantee will still look and taste ten times better than home brew. |

Is anyone else totally bored with this series with it's constant stream of food or drink related businesses? It seems to be more of the same thing every week.
