More of a basket than a spider I suppose.
After looking at all of the PVC, bag, carriage bolt, washer and nuts assemblies I decided to create my own cheapo "basket."
1 gallon nylon paint strainer: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C2A81UW/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20
copper wire (free)
Any old wooden handle or tree branch (free)
I "sewed" the copper wire through the paint strainer and then hooked it to the wooden dowel. I notched the dowel at the kettle edge to prevent rolling. I used 4 ounces of pellet hops today and it worked great. I was able to clean it afterwards and will use it again on my next batch. You can adjust the copper wire to the depth of your wort by simply bending it.
