That is a nice looking boiler.
Lots of good advice so far, especially Hillzabilly's suggestion of wiring 1 element at 1200W. Electric elements would be the most efficient heating option.
What I will suggest is what I would install if I was called in to do the job. This is if you have a permenant distilling area. Install a 3ph 10mm supply from your main DB to a sub board close to your designated area. From this sub board you can install dedicated 2 x 15A circuits and 2 x 10A circuits (assuming 4 elements) This would be your most economical set-up in the long run. I would also recommend heavy duty plugs (Clipsal 56 series) not the cheap bunnings stuff, they are about $15 more.
Of course you can lessen the amount of elements / cabling /expense but then you increase your heat up time. You need to work out what you prioritise, cost VS time.
* Advice is only suggested and length of runs and inspection of premise would need to be conducted prior to final confirmation.
