Changes

Designing a coolship for homebrew volumes may result in a coolship that does not appear similar to its larger companions. To match the 0.67 ratio of the 36 BBL coolship with our 10 gallon example, the dimensions would have to be approximately 0.915' x 0.915' x 1.49' with a surface area of 0.8375'. A homebrewer desiring a more shallow vessel may insulate the coolship to slow the cooling rate although this may affect the inoculate rate. A typical homebrew-volume boil kettle is closer to the larger coolship (estimated 1-2 sq. ft. per cubic foot) and insulating the kettle when using it as a coolship may slow the cooling rate closer to that of a commercial-volume coolship.
