So here's the situation,
I went to my local hardware store and got a 4 ft length of 1/2 in copper pipe, and a 4 ft length of 3/4 in for a Liebig. I got some reducers as I figured that is what would be most likely used, but I guess I must be wrong! So if anyone could direct me towards the proper type of fitting for the water jacket and condenser tube, that would be grand!

1/2 X 1/2 X 3/4 Tee, but I'm sure that if you would have stopped and thought about it for a bit, you would have figured that out on your own

A quick HD search and you will see how to use them in your build.

Edit: posted at same time... and Michigan was a lot more helpful than me!

You can build them without any reducers or Tee's but it takes a little finesse.

You could check out Rad's Reducerless concentric build for some idea's.

Thank you guys very much, and I'm sorry about asking a dumb question but I use Tapatalk and couldn't figure out how to do a darn search!

Ditch the tap talk and just read the post. I use a tablet for most of my needs and just optout of tap talk. Click the link that MCH posted a couple lines back. That doesn't get any more detailed of an explanation.

Maybe this will help...

the two 1/2 X 1/2 X 3/4 connectors have a stop built into them at the 1/2 inch straight through end, just file this down and the 1/2 pipe will pass through.

If you are gonna order them from a store or online make sure to say or write the tee like this. 3/4" ×1/2" ×1/2" that is the proper order. If you say it the other way you will get a bullhead tee.

+1 for the Kiwi. Go to your local hardware like lowes or Home depot etc. They will have them for $5 or less
