Coolship

A coolship (Anglicized version of the Dutch/Flemish koelschip) is a type of fermentation vessel used in the production of beer. Traditionally, a coolship is a broad, open-top, flat vessel in which wort cools.[1] The high surface-to-mass ratio allows for more efficient cooling.[2] Contemporary usage includes any open fermentor used in the production of beer, even when using modern mechanical cooling techniques. Traditionally, coolships were constructed of wood, but later were lined with iron or copper for better thermal conductivity.

While Anchor Brewing Company is the oldest continually-operated brewery in the United States to employ open fermentation, coolships in the traditional sense[3] were first used in the United States by Allagash Brewing Company.
