Coolers and coolships

There's a brilliant article on coolers (what mot people call coolships nowadays) and their uses by my good friend Martha. Extremely informative and well-researched by someone who, unlike me, is a proper scientist.

Cooling is, like everything beer-related, way more complicated than it at first appears. Both in terms of the equipment used and the processes performed with them. The article taught me lots of things I hadn't realised that I needed to know. If you get what I mean. I need to review the section on cooling in "Free!".

Do take a look. I love the mixture of personal and technical. The theoretical and practical. One of the best long articles I've read in ages.
