Extra Income for Small Breweries Using Existing Equipment – The Solution in This Article

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

You can pivot fast without corporate red tape.

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

That’s where extra income 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.

Until now, no other competitor in the market provides 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’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

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

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.

Mix and match flavours: All varieties blend seamlessly. Create your own signatures, like a grapefruit-passionfruit twist or 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 mastered the formula, creating pure, natural flavor bursts without any artificial ingredients.

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

    Here’s a casual rundown of the process

    Grab your concentrate: Get it from Aromhuset. Begin with a small amount for testing – like a 500ml bottle of Grapefruit to experiment with.

    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: 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: Fill your taproom, community stores, markets, web. Set the price at £1.50-£2.50 per 330ml – good margins given the low cost of concentrate per bottle.

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

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

    Having no competition in concentrate form positions you as the pioneer

    Zero-sugar drinks led the way as non-alcoholic drink sales in the UK spiked by 20% last year

    Areas of interest:

  • Events & festivals: Unique flavors to enhance branding.
  • Export potential: EU-friendly due to its Swedish origins.

    • Overcoming Common Hurdles: What to Watch For

    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: 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: 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.

    • Water quality matters – use filtered or spring for best taste

    Pineapple offers a tropical escape
