5 Gallon Processor Help

Hello, I'm trying to make a five gallon processor and need an electric heating element to heat the WVO to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. I was trying to make an electric submersible heater (something along the lines of taking a wire wrapping it in insulation sealing it in a pipe) and using that to heat the WVO to the temperature but I can not figure out how to make the circuit or what kind of wire to use. Some people suggested nichrome but others say even guitar strings are good enough to heat it to such a low temperature. Anyone out there build there own heating element or know where I can find a cheap one to buy. Any links or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks, Sirnobody
