added coolship table
==Commercial Coolships==
This table is based on data collected by [https://belgianbeergeek.be/2016/11/27/coolship-the-yeast-over-koelschepen-en-beestjes/ Belgian Beer Geek] on the characteristics of coolships in lambic breweries. The volume of the coolships has been calculated from the dimensions, and therefore it is slightly larger than the practical filling volume. Surface area:volume is calculated for the top surface exposed to air for both the maximum fill and the approximate batch sizes as well as the total surface area (including the walls and bottom of the coolship). Some breweries use multiple coolships at once. When multiple identical coolships are used, numbers in parentheses following brewery names indicate the number of coolships used and the volume given is the total combined volume of these coolships.

===Manufacturers===
Any metal tank manufacturer can generally build a coolship <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1327576813937196/?comment_id=1327588103936067&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R3%22%7D Conversation with Joe Wells on MTF. 06/11/2016.]</ref>.
