Description Alloa, Thistle Brewery, main building, E end, first floor, Yeast Plant, interior View from NW showing plant. Yeast introduced into vats in Tun Room by means of buckets of yeast which were walked up the stairs between the first floor to the second floor and manually added to the fermentation tanks. This system was introduced in 1949 and superceeded the part parchute skimming system which meant that yeast was siphoned off through (a now blocked) opening in the base of the tun and into a barrow waiting on the floor below (ground floor)
