I have a stainless steel immersion chiller that I really like using, however it sits on my element at the bottom of my kettle. I know some people seem fine with this, but I can't help but think this stress is not good on the element.
I'm thinking about building a 'hook' of sorts that I can permanently attach to my IC and use it to hook on the upper lip of my kettle, effectively keeping my IC off of my element.
I'm familiar with the 'hangover' from Exchilerator, which is a similar concept. I just don't to buy a whole new chiller.
Before I go down this route, I'd appreciate any input (or if anyone has already found a solution, I'd love to hear about it). Thanks!
