Hi AB ,
That depends on what you want to make.
Tastefull stuff,
or neutral like wodfka,or neutral for fruit flavored liqueurs.
To be more precise:
Do you want to make calvados,whisky,cognac,and or eux de vie use a pottstill or a plated colomn.
Do you want neutral and so on use a reflux colum like a boka bob .
However to make it even more complicated ,you can use a bokabob reflux column liquid managment and you can do both,valve wide open for tastefull stuff even a 3 dimensional whisky,and or with managing the take off valve and you can get azeotope up to 95% +
As you are a newbe my suggestion is to start with a potstill to learn the skills ,and after that you can decide what is best for you.
My question is do you have the skills/ possibillitys to build your own kettle ?
Otherwise buy one in Poland for cheap,or Portugal,if needed I can PM you some links.
Other question are you going to use gas or electric for heating ?
My tip start with a manualy very easy to use apparatus,not a fully automatic one.
We need more info from you
