Running a small operation means you’re nimble, right?

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

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

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

Up to now, no other market player has provided this in concentrate 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 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

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: 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 has nailed the formula, guaranteeing no artificial additives, just pure, natural flavor bursts.23

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

    Let me give you a brief overview of the process

    Get your concentrate: Order from Aromhuset. Starts small for testing – say, a 500ml bottle of Grapefruit to trial.

    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: 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: 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.

    • Costs? A 500ml concentrate might run £3, yielding 16.5L – about 50 x 330ml bottles

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

    No competition in concentrate form means you’re first-mover

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

    Areas of interest:

  • Events & festivals: Tailored tastes for marketing purposes.
  • Export potential: EU-friendly due to its Swedish origins.

    • Conquering Regular Hurdles: What to Be Mindful Of

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

  • Regulations: Food labeling in the UK is straightforward for sugar-free drinks. Specify ingredients (water, concentrate with sucralose, natural flavors). Check for allergens – nut-free, vegan-friendly.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: 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: Enhance your website’s SEO ranking by targeting keywords like “sugar-free still drinks in your locality”. Increase engagement by sharing social media snapshots of the mixing and bottling procedures.

    • For the best taste, the quality of water is significant – opt for filtered or spring water

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

    Pineapple is a tropical escape

    Rhubarb brings tangy nostalgia

    Mix Grapefruit-Passionfruit for a tangy adult sip

    All combinable – devise “Brewer’s Berry Blast” or any other mix that matches your brand
