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

You can respond swiftly without corporate hurdles.

However, sales can fluctuate – seasons change, tastes evolve, and suddenly your main product isn’t selling as quickly.

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

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.

This has not been offered in concentrate form by anyone else on the market – until now.

Envision this: your microbrewery’s bottling line, usually in operation with beer or cider, is now manufacturing bottles of zesty grapefruit still drink or exotic fruit explosion

Customers love the health angle – zero sugar, sweetened with a natural-tasting sucralose derived from sugar that’s 600 times sweeter, so you don’t notice 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

A satisfying and well-balanced soda is achieved with the delicate sweetness contrasting with the tangy notes

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.

Combining flavors: All types mix effortlessly. Develop unique combinations, such as a grapefruit-passionfruit blend 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 mastered the formula, creating pure, natural flavor bursts without any artificial ingredients.

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 great thing is, you don’t need any new equipment

Here’s a basic rundown 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.

Mix and stir: Add 1 part concentrate to 33 parts of filtered still water in your tank. Gently stir until blended – completed within minutes. No heat, no complexity.

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: Put on the label “Zero Sugar Still Drink – Grapefruit Burst by Your Brewery Name”. Feature the local, sugar-free, and made-with-care aspects.

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.

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

There is a huge demand for health trends – people are looking for sugar-free options without compromising on taste

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

Target markets:

Events & festivals: Personalized options for brand promotion.

Export potential: Suitable for EU markets being Swedish.

Managing Typical Obstacles: Important Considerations

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

Regulations: UK regulations make food labeling easy for sugar-free drinks. Mention ingredients (water, concentrate with sucralose, natural flavors). Confirm allergens – no nuts, 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: When testing, start with small batches. Test the dilutions by tasting them – aiming for 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: 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.

Filtered or spring water is essential for the best taste

Immerse yourself in flavors: Grapefruit is a sharp, wake-up call
