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 various breweries and from MTF member contributions<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1790239601004246/ MTF thread about coolship dimensions]</ref>.
===Overhangs and Other Innovations===
Some breweries have opted to craft overhangs that simulate a wooden ceiling above their coolship. The idea is to simulate some [[Lambic|lambic]] breweries that have relatively low ceilings made from wood. During the cooling of the wort in the coolship, vapor rises to the ceiling, condenses, and then drips back down into the coolship, potentially carrying microbes that are living on the wood of the ceiling (see also [[Spontaneous_Fermentation#Notes_on_the_Source_of_Microbes|Sources of Microbes in Spontaneous Fermentation]]).
Other examples of innovative customizations to the coolship design include Yazoo's Embrace The Funk Coolship wort immersion chiller for experimenting with cooling at warmer ambient temperatures, and Black Project's coolship that can be split into half batches.
