We've been making another batch of the Appalachian Moonshine (because the ingredients gave us worked out cheaper to buy for 3 X 200L ferment) and we have noticed that corn tends to be self draining!
By that I mean, you can squeeze it dry or simply drain the liquid (using collanders or the like) leaving the grain until the end. We then make a 'hole' in the grain pile and the liquid drains in there! Takes a little more time but is much less work!!

On a different note, where do the professional distilleries get their all grain mash tuns? And their process seems to be vey similar to beer making (sparging) - why don't they ferment on the grain??
