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

Operating a small business means you’re flexible, isn’t it?

You can make quick changes without corporate bureaucracy.

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

Aromhuset

That’s where additional revenue 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.

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

Having personally tested the drinks: a small quantity at the bottom of a glass, mixed with still water, and presto – incredibly refreshing, with no strange aftertaste

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

Specifically crafted for micro distilleries, breweries, and small bottlers, Aromhuset from Gert Strand AB in Sweden creates 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.

Combining flavors: All types mix effortlessly. Develop unique combinations, such as a grapefruit-passionfruit blend or a banana-rhubarb fusion.

  • Yield king: Massively increase output with minimal input thanks to the 1:33 dilution ratio. Perfect for cost-effective high-volume bottling.1
  • No off-tastes: Aromhuset has perfected the formula, ensuring no artificial ingredients, only pure, natural flavor explosions.

    The most popular sorts? 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

    Let me give you a brief overview 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: Carry out the process along your line as per usual. Glass or PET bottles would be 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: 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

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

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

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

    Target markets:

  • Events & festivals: Specialty tastes for brand exposure.
  • Export potential: EU-friendly, as it’s from Sweden.
  • Managing Typical Obstacles: Important Considerations

    Let’s be realistic – here are a few things you should think about:

  • 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 can last 6-12 months when chilled. How about unopened concentrate? It can last for years. Remember to bottle fresh to maximize.
  • Testing: Begin by doing small batches. Test the dilutions by taste – aim for that perfect 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.
  • Water quality matters – use filtered or spring for best taste

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

    Pineapple is a tropical escape

    Rhubarb tangy nostalgia

    Mingle Grapefruit-Passionfruit for a zingy adult sip

    All blendable – invent “Brewer’s Berry Blast” or whatever fits your brand

    All set to begin?

    Run a 10L test batch when it’s quiet.

    Label, sell locally. Gather feedback.

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

    This is extra income for small breweries using existing equipment at its finest – low risk, high reward, fun flavours.

    Your setup’s primed; Aromhuset provides the secret sauce.

    Give it a whirl, and watch profits fizz (well, still-ly) grow.

    Here’s to that!
