Homebrewers may use coolships in their home brewhouse as a way to cool and inoculate beers to be spontaneously fermented. The purpose of a coolship for homebrewers is identical to commercial brewers. (For more information on the process of brewing with a coolship, see [[Spontaneous Fermentation]].) However, the vessel selected as a coolship generally will be determined by the available resources of the homebrewer and the effect of the coolship will be driven by the surface area to volume ratio of the wort within the coolship.
