Having a small operation means you’re agile, correct?

You can pivot fast without corporate red tape.

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

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

Aromhuset’s concentrates allow you to create still drinks (imagine flat, refreshing sodas without bubbles) that are sugar-free, delicious, and distinctive.

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

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 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 creates a satisfying and well-balanced soda by contrasting with the tangy notes

Designed for micro distilleries, breweries, and small bottlers by Gert Strand AB in Sweden, Aromhuset crafts these products

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: With a 1:33 dilution ratio, you can expect a massive output from minimal input. Ideal for cost-effective high-volume bottling.1

No off-tastes: Aromhuset nailed the formula – no artificial nasties, just pure, natural flavour bursts.

Some of the most popular types are Grapefruit, Pineapple, Rhubarb, Grapefruit-Passionfruit, Banana, Blood Orange, Fruit Explosion, Grapefruit-Blood Orange, Gooseberry, Lemon-Lime, Raspberry, Strawberry, and Passionfruit

The best part is, you won’t need any new equipment

Let me give you a brief overview of the process

Obtain your concentrate: Buy it from Aromhuset. Start with a small quantity for experimentation – like a 500ml bottle of Grapefruit to sample.

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: 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.

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

Target markets:

Events & festivals: Tailored tastes for marketing purposes.

Export potential: Originating in Sweden makes it EU-conducive.

Conquering Regular Hurdles: What to Be Mindful Of

Let’s be practical – there are a few points to keep in mind:

Guidelines: Food labeling regulations in the UK are clear for sugar-free drinks. Enlist ingredients (water, concentrate with sucralose, natural flavors). Verify allergens – free from nuts, suitable for vegans.5

Shelf life: The shelf life of mixed still drinks when chilled is 6-12 months. How long does unopened concentrate last? It can last for years. Make sure to bottle fresh to maximize the lifespan.

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: Optimize your site for search engines by including phrases like “sugar-free still drinks in your area”. Generate hype by posting social media images of the mixing and bottling procedures.

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