Description Alloa, Thistle Brewery, Brewhouse, second floor, interior High level view of coppers from SE showing the oldest (originally open) rivetted copper no. 1 (makers plate attached to steam outlet: 'RG Abercrombie & Co Ltd Engineers, Coppersmiths, Brassfounders Alloa') in background and copper no.2 in forground. To left is the Mash Tun with modern stainless steel cover, the cast-iron body of which probably dates from about 1870. Here the cracked corns of malted barley from the grist case above are 'sparged' or mashed with hot water in the Mash Tun before the liquid extract of malt or 'wort' is run into the coppers. Here the wort and hops (manually added) are boiled together. The liquor is then run into a hopback (on the first floor) where all solids are removed
