We did that once way back when I was young. My dad had made a batch of crab apple wine that really sucked, full of sediment and undrinkable. So, he borrowed my chemistry set and used a beaker and some tubing attached to it with a stopper. Boiled it in the beaker and the "steam" goes up the tube which had a coiled section in a bowl of ice. Dripped out a tad purified, took 3 runs to make it into acceptable moonshine. Went on to make a boiler from stainless steel and copper tubing to see how it worked on a larger scale. Used a copper sleeve to encase the coils with fittings to run continuous cold water through it. Did an excellent job, though I was too young to try the final product, aside from a capful or so.
