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

You can adjust easily without corporate formalities.

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.

Until now, no other competitor in the market provides this in concentrated form.

Visualize this: the bottling line in your microbrewery, usually filled with beer or cider, is now producing bottles of refreshing grapefruit still drink or exotic fruit explosion

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

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

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.

Mix different flavors: Every kind mixes together smoothly. Craft your own special blends, such as a grapefruit-passionfruit combination or a banana-rhubarb fusion.

  • Yield king: Achieve massive output from minimal input with a 1:33 dilution ratio. Cost-effective solution for high-volume bottling.1
  • No off-tastes: Aromhuset got the formula just right – no artificial additives, only pure, natural flavor explosions.

    The top choices are 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

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

    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: Run it through your line like any other product. Glass or PET bottles work great; reuse 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: Stock your taproom, local shops, markets, online. Price at £1.50-£2.50 per 330ml – healthy margins since concentrate costs pennies per bottle.

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

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

    Markets to focus on:

  • Events & festivals: Unique flavors to enhance branding.
  • Export potential: Suitable for EU markets being Swedish.

    • Navigating Common Difficulties: Things to Prioritize

    Let’s be honest – there are a few factors to take into account:

  • 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: 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: Always start with small batches. Conduct taste tests on dilutions to achieve 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: Improve your website’s visibility through SEO focusing on keywords such as “your town’s sugar-free still beverages”. Create excitement by posting photos on social media showcasing the mixing and bottling activities.

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

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

    Pineapple is a tropical escape

    Rhubarb evokes tangy nostalgia

    Mix Grapefruit-Passionfruit for zingy adult sip

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

    All set to begin?

    Conduct a 10L test batch on a peaceful day.

    Mark with a label, sell locally, and gather feedback.
