Help picking a starter still for whiskey
Hi. A few days ago I posted about a 3 gallon mile hi reflux still that I was interested in. I got a lot of great feedback and was ready to pick it up but the seller ghosted me and I've been reconsidering. I read through some old posts and saw recommendations for the [Digiboil pot still package](https://www.williamsbrewing.com/Gifts-More/Gift-Locator/Gifts-for-Distillers/Digiboil-Pot-Still-Package) and the [Anvil Foundry 6.5](https://anvilbrewing.com/product/anvil-foundry-6-5-gallon/)
I'm very enticed by the Anvil as it's discounted 15% today. Would either of these be enough to get me started, and is either capable of producing quality whiskey?
In one of the posts recommending the Anvil Foundry, the user mentioned buying a copper condenser and copper dome. Would these be essential for a quality product?
One last question would be, about what would be the cost of a DIY keg pot still?
Thanks in advance.
