Many homebrewers will construct a "mini-coolship", as seen by Devin Bell's picture. Devin has reported good results from using his makeshift ''coolship'' <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1110677075627172/?comment_id=1110818382279708&offset=0&total_comments=7&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R4%22%7D Conversation with Devil Bell on the results of using his coolship. 7/16/2015.]</ref>. The benefit of building one is that a ball valve can be installed near the bottom of the coolship, which will make transferring the wort easier. Another option that some people have reported trying is purchasing a large stainless steel pans from a restaurant supply store.
