This is mine, note the cooler with my brine mix right under the forge. This was from my last batch of 1095 when I cracked 6 out of seven knives.

Have you tried heating your brine to slow the quench speed. There are charts on the web for optimal temps for steel treated. If your brine is saturated and at right temp cracks can be avoided. hot brine can be a slower quench than some oils. Agitation is more critical to avoid vapour jacket insulation.
