Since the bloke isn't working from corn mash, it doesn't
seem necessary to reflux. Simple one stage distil should
do the job.

And, since he's starting with alcohol with some solids,
it's less critical to maintain perfect temp. You'd (to
the OP) need some kind of thermostat on the heating
element, so it didn't get over 190F or some similar temp.
Otherwise, it might tend to cook the resins in the
pot.

A mate makes his own whiskey, He uses a reflux still which I doubt
you'd need and he says that trying to hold the correct temperature
without using some sort of automatic controller is a bit difficult but
doable.

(His current still is electric fired and all automated controls)
