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

Being a small producer means you’re quick on your feet, correct?

You can make quick changes without corporate bureaucracy.

However, sales can be inconsistent – seasons change, tastes vary, and suddenly your main product isn’t selling as well.

Aromhuset

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

Aromhuset’s concentrates let you whip up still drinks (think flat, refreshing sodas without fizz) that are sugar-free, super tasty, and unique.

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

Visualize this: the bottling line in your microbrewery, usually filled with beer or cider, is now producing bottles of refreshing grapefruit still drink or exotic fruit explosion

The health-conscious clientele appreciates the zero sugar approach, made possible by sweetening the drink with a natural-tasting sucralose that’s 600 times sweeter than sugar, ensuring the absence of a sugary taste

Having tasted these drinks ourselves: a small amount at the base of a glass, combined with still water, and there you have it – remarkably refreshing, with no unusual aftertaste

A satisfying and well-balanced soda is provided by the delicate sweetness contrasting with the tangy notes

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.

Blending different flavors: Various types blend together seamlessly. Formulate your own distinctive mixes, like a grapefruit-passionfruit twist or banana-rhubarb fusion.

  • Yield king: 1:33 dilution ratio means massive output from minimal input. Cost-effective for high-volume bottling.1
  • No off-tastes: Aromhuset mastered the formula, creating pure, natural flavor bursts without any artificial ingredients.

    The most popular sorts? 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

    Here’s a casual rundown of the process

    Grab your concentrate: Get it from Aromhuset. Begin with a small amount for testing – like a 500ml bottle of Grapefruit to experiment with.

    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: Send it down your line as you would with any other product. Glass or PET bottles are ideal; consider reusing your suppliers.
  • Label smart: Slap on “Zero Sugar Still Drink – Grapefruit Burst by Your Brewery Name”. Highlight local, sugar-free, and made-with-care vibes.
  • Sell it: Supply your taproom, nearby shops, markets, internet. Price it between £1.50-£2.50 per 330ml – great profits as concentrate is inexpensive per bottle.

    • The expenses? A 500ml concentrate may be in the range of £3-4, producing 16.5L – about 50 x 330ml bottles

    Health trends are massive – folks want sugar-free without sacrificing taste

    With no competition in concentrate form, you have the opportunity to be the first mover

    Last year, non-alcoholic drink sales in the UK saw a 20% increase, with zero-sugar variants leading the growth

    Areas of interest:

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

    • Overcoming Common Hurdles: What to Watch For

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

  • Regulations: UK regulations make food labeling easy for sugar-free drinks. Mention ingredients (water, concentrate with sucralose, natural flavors). Confirm allergens – no nuts, suitable for vegans.5
  • Shelf life: For mixed still drinks, the shelf life when chilled is 6-12 months. What about unopened concentrate? It can last for years. Ensure to bottle fresh for maximum 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: Utilize SEO to target your website with keywords like “sugar-free still drinks in your city”. Generate interest by sharing social media photos of the mixing and bottling processes.

    • The quality of the water is crucial – go for filtered or spring water for optimal taste
