A Solution for Small Breweries to Generate Extra Income Using Existing Equipment

Running a small operation means you’re nimble, right?

You can adapt rapidly without corporate restrictions.

But sales can be patchy, seasons change, tastes shift, and suddenly your core product isn’t flying off shelves as quick.

Aromhuset

This is where supplementary income for small breweries using current equipment comes into play.

Using Aromhuset’s concentrates, you can make still beverages (imagine flat, refreshing sodas without fizz) that are sugar-free, exceptionally tasty, and exclusive.

This has not been offered in concentrate form by anyone else on the market – until now.

Imagine this scenario: your microbrewery’s bottling line, typically busy with beer or cider production, is currently producing bottles of tangy grapefruit or exotic fruit-flavored beverages

Enthusiastic customers are drawn to the healthy aspect of the drink – zero sugar, with sweetness derived from a natural-tasting sucralose that is 600 times sweeter, resulting in a sugar-free drink that goes unnoticed

We have sampled the drinks personally: a small amount in the bottom of a glass, topped off with still water, and voila – amazingly refreshing, without any strange aftertaste

“The delicate sweetness contrasts with the tangy notes and gives you a satisfying and well-balanced soda

Made by Gert Strand AB in Sweden for micro distilleries, breweries, and small bottlers, Aromhuset creates these selections

Key perks that make this a no-brainer:…Sweetened with high-purity sucralose – made from sugar but insanely sweet, so tiny amounts do the trick. No acesulfame or aspartame, which can leave a bitter edge. Tastes clean and real.

Mixing and matching flavors: Different varieties blend harmoniously. Invent your own signature combinations, like a grapefruit-passionfruit twist or banana-rhubarb fusion.

  • Yield king: Achieve massive output from minimal input with a 1:33 dilution ratio. Cost-effective solution for high-volume bottling.1
  • No off-tastes: Aromhuset nailed the formula – no artificial nasties, just pure, natural flavour bursts.

    Popular varieties include Grapefruit, Pineapple, Rhubarb, Grapefruit-Passionfruit, Banana, Blood Orange, Fruit Explosion, Grapefruit-Blood Orange, Gooseberry, Lemon-Lime, Raspberry, Strawberry, and Passionfruit

    Here’s the beauty: no new equipment needed

    Let me give you a brief overview of the process

    Get your concentrate: Order from Aromhuset. Starts small for testing – say, a 500ml bottle of Grapefruit to trial.

    Mix it up: In your tank, add 1 part concentrate to 32 parts filtered still water. Stir gently – done in minutes. No heat, no fuss.

  • Bottle away: Utilize your manufacturing line for processing, similar to any other product. Glass or PET bottles are suitable; consider reusing your suppliers.
  • Label smart: Attach the label “Zero Sugar Still Drink – Grapefruit Burst by Your Brewery Name”. Emphasize the local, sugar-free, and crafted-with-care attributes.
  • Sell it: Stock up your taproom, local stores, markets, online platforms. Set the pricing at 1.50-2.50 per 330ml – solid margins because concentrate is cheap per bottle.

    • Expense? A 500ml concentrate could cost £3, producing 16.5L – roughly 50 x 330ml bottles

    There is a strong emphasis on health trends – consumers are interested in sugar-free products without compromising on taste

    No competition in concentrate form means you’re first-mover

    The UK witnessed a 20% increase in non-alcoholic drink sales last year, with zero-sugar beverages taking the lead

    Areas of interest:

  • Events & festivals: Unique flavors to enhance branding.
  • Export potential: EU-friendly, as it’s from Sweden.

    • Dealing with Common Challenges: Key Points to Keep in Mind

    Let’s stay grounded – there are a few aspects worth considering:

  • Regulations: UK food labelling is straightforward for sugar-free drinks. List ingredients (water, concentrate with sucralose, natural flavours). Get allergen checks – nut-free, vegan-friendly.5
  • Shelf life: The shelf life of mixed still drinks, when chilled, is 6-12 months. Unopened concentrate can last for years. Remember to bottle fresh to maximize the preservation.
  • Testing: Start with small batches for testing. Try out dilutions through taste testing, aiming for the ideal 1:33 ratio.
  • Packaging: PET containers can be used if there are no restrictions on carbonation lines; glass containers provide a high-end look and feel. Adding eco-labels can improve the product’s appeal.
  • Marketing: Improve your website’s visibility through SEO focusing on keywords such as “your town’s sugar-free still beverages”. Create excitement by posting photos on social media showcasing the mixing and bottling activities.

    • Filtered or spring water is essential for the best taste

    All adaptable – invent “Brewer’s Berry Blast” or any mix that fits your brand

    Feeling prepared?

    Conduct a 10L test batch on a peaceful day.

    Label and sell locally to gather feedback.

    Grow in size, put online, and pitch to pubs.

    This represents additional revenue for small breweries utilizing current equipment at its best – low risk, high rewards, enjoyable flavors.

    Your arrangement is prepared; Aromhuset supplies the secret formula.

    Give it a try, and witness your gains sizzle (well, sort of) rise.

    Congratulations on that!
