Thermocouple bend?

[kokonutz]

I have a basic PT 100 in my kettle. Time to time I like to do a small batches that are less than 5 gallon. If doing a batch that small , the probe won’t touch the liquid. Is there any such device that is it thermal couple with a band in it so that it can reach the water at a lower level? I would need this device to plug-in to my electric set up just like the current one does using an XLR plug. Thanks to this group I have a basic understanding now of how to solder so happy to do the work there!

I did Google around but I didn’t quite find anything likely because I’m not looking it up correctly

You should be able to safely bend a standard, long, PT-100 probe. The active element is in the tip, the rest is just basically a thermowell. Use a tubing bender so that you don't crimp the sheath tube while bending.
