Added table of coolship specs
Some breweries such as Mort Subite and Belle Vue don't use a koelschip any more. Mort Subite instead uses the [[Brasserie_Mort_Subite#Brewing_Process|Lebeau Method]] and Belle Vue uses the [[Brasserie_Belle_Vue#Brewing_Process|DKZ Method]].
==Koelschips used in lambic breweries==
Below is a table 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 koelschips in lambic breweries. Volume is calculated from the dimensions, and therefore the practical filling volume is a bit lower. The minimum exposed top surface area to volume ratio is calculated from the top surface and maximum volume. The actual SA:Volume is estimated based on the approximate brew sizes. Total SA:Volume includes the surface area of the sides and bottom of the cool ship. Numbers in parentheses following brewery names indicate the number of identical coolships used by that brewery.
