Generating Extra Income for Small Breweries by Utilizing Existing Equipment – Featured Solution

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

You can respond swiftly without corporate hurdles.

However, sales can be irregular – seasons change, tastes shift, and suddenly your primary product isn’t moving as fast.

Aromhuset

Here’s where extra earnings for small breweries using existing equipment comes in.

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

Until now, no one else in the market has offered this in concentrated form.

Picture this: your micro brewery’s bottling line, usually humming with beer or cider, now churning out bottles of zesty 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

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

Contrasting with the tangy notes, the delicate sweetness creates a satisfying and well-balanced soda

Tailored for micro distilleries, breweries, and small bottlers, Aromhuset from Gert Strand AB in Sweden produces these offerings

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.

Combining flavors: All types mix effortlessly. Develop unique combinations, such as a grapefruit-passionfruit blend or a 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 has perfected the formula, ensuring no artificial ingredients, only pure, natural flavor explosions.

    Among the favorites are 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 an informal summary of the process

    Secure your concentrate: Order from Aromhuset. Start small for testing – perhaps a 500ml bottle of Grapefruit to evaluate.

    Mix things up: In your tank, combine 1 part concentrate with 32 parts of filtered still water. Gently stir – finished within minutes. No need for heat, no trouble.

  • Bottle away: Process it along your production line just like any other item. Glass or PET bottles are excellent choices; consider reusing your suppliers.
  • Label smart: Stick on the label “Zero Sugar Still Drink – Grapefruit Burst by Your Brewery Name”. Highlight the local, sugar-free, and made-with-care vibes.
  • 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.

    • What are the costs? A 500ml concentrate can be around £3, resulting in 16.5L – around 50 x 330ml bottles

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

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

    Non-alcoholic drink sales in the UK surged by 20% last year, driven by the popularity of zero-sugar options

    Target markets:

  • Events & festivals: Specialty tastes for brand exposure.
  • Export potential: EU-friendly due to its Swedish origins.

    • Managing Typical Obstacles: Important Considerations

    Let’s be honest – there are a few factors to take into account:

  • 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: 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: Always start with small batches. Conduct taste tests on dilutions to achieve that perfect 1:33 ratio.
  • Packaging: If carbonation lines are free, consider PET bottles; for a more upscale impression, go for glass bottles. Using eco-labels can increase the product’s appeal.
  • Marketing: SEO your site with “sugar-free still drinks your town”. Social snaps of mixing/bottling build buzz.

    • The quality of water is important – opt for filtered or spring water for the best taste

    Dive deeper into flavours: Grapefruit is sharp, wake-up call

    Pineapple provides a tropical escape

    Rhubarb is tangy nostalgia

    Blend Grapefruit-Passionfruit for a zingy adult sip

    All mixable – create “Brewer’s Berry Blast” or any blend that suits your brand

    Feeling prepared?

    Run a 10L test batch on quiet day.

    Mark with a label, sell locally, and gather feedback.

    Increase production, list online, and present to pubs.

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

    Your equipment is ready; Aromhuset offers the secret ingredient.

    Give it a go, and watch profits bubble up (well, technically) increase.

    Here’s to that!
