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

When you run a small operation, you’re nimble, right?

You can respond swiftly without corporate hurdles.

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

Aromhuset

That’s where additional revenue for small breweries using existing equipment comes in.

With Aromhuset’s concentrates, you can concoct still drinks (imagine flat, refreshing sodas without carbonation) that are sugar-free, incredibly delicious, and one-of-a-kind.

No one else on the market offers this in concentrate form – 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

The health-conscious customers are enthusiastic about the zero-sugar aspect, as the beverage is sweetened with a natural-tasting sucralose derived from sugar, which is 600 times sweeter, making it virtually undetectable that it’s sugar-free

We’ve tried them ourselves: just a few millimetres in the bottom of a glass, topped with still water, and boom – incredibly refreshing, no weird aftertaste

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

Aromhuset, from Gert Strand AB in Sweden, crafts these bad boys specifically for folks like you – micro distilleries, breweries, and small bottlers

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.

Mix different flavors: Every kind mixes together smoothly. Craft your own special blends, such as a grapefruit-passionfruit combination or a banana-rhubarb fusion.

  • Yield king: The 1:33 dilution ratio leads to massive output from minimal input, making it cost-effective for high-volume bottling operations.1
  • No off-tastes: Aromhuset has perfected the formula, ensuring no artificial ingredients, only pure, natural flavor explosions.

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

    The beauty of it is, there’s no need for new equipment

    Here’s an informal summary of the process

    Acquire your concentrate: Purchase from Aromhuset. Begin with a small amount for testing – such as a 500ml bottle of Grapefruit to try out.

    Blend it together: Add 1 part concentrate to 32 parts of filtered still water in your tank. Gently stir it – all done in a few minutes. No heating, no complications.

  • 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: Supply your taproom, nearby stores, markets, online outlets. Price between 1.50-2.50 per 330ml – healthy profits as concentrate is cost-effective per bottle.

    • How much does it cost? A 500ml concentrate could be priced at £3, leading to 16.5L – approximately 50 x 330ml bottles

    The demand for health trends is substantial, with individuals seeking sugar-free alternatives that do not compromise on taste

    Being the first in the market with no competition in concentrate form gives you a competitive advantage

    In the UK, non-alcoholic drinks sales jumped 20% last year, with zero-sugar leading

    Areas of interest:

  • Events & festivals: Custom flavours for branding.
  • Export potential: Suitable for EU markets being Swedish.

    • Navigating Common Difficulties: Things to Prioritize

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

  • Rules: In the UK, food labeling for sugar-free beverages is simple. Include ingredients (water, sucralose concentrate, natural flavors). Conduct allergen checks – ensure nut-free, suitable for vegans.5
  • Shelf life: Mixed still drinks last 6-12 months chilled. Unopened concentrate? Years. Bottle fresh to maximise.
  • Testing: Start with small batches for testing. Try out dilutions through taste testing, aiming for the ideal 1:33 ratio.
  • Packaging: Consider using PET bottles when carbonation lines are not limited; for a luxurious touch, opt for glass bottles. The inclusion of eco-labels can enhance the product’s appeal.
  • Marketing: SEO your site with “sugar-free still drinks your town”. Social snaps of mixing/bottling build buzz.

    • Filtered or spring water is essential for the best taste

    Delve into flavors: Grapefruit delivers a sharp, wake-up call

    Pineapple provides a tropical escape

    Rhubarb brings tangy nostalgia

    Combine Grapefruit-Passionfruit for a zingy adult sip

    All versatile – come up with “Brewer’s Berry Blast” or any suitable mix for your brand
