You can also order stainless probe ends. Brewer's Hardware is the place with the biggest selection that I have found. You can just drop in a sensor and seal it up with silicone and some heat shrink tubing.
If looks aren't important you can take some 1/4" copper tubing and crimp one end shut and put some solder on in it to seal it. Then you drop in a sensor, silicone the other end shut, and heat shrink tubing to make it look a little neater. That is my plan, but I have a bunch of copper tubing laying around.
Hope that helps.

If you want to use the special one-wire firmware from CW2 or the one wire controller from Peter Anderson you can get a DS18B20 already in a stainless probe. Just search for "DS18B20 probe" on eBay.

Be careful of that copper tubing if it is going into a fish tank, the copper could be toxic to the fish!
