Premature poast. Will update with better info. I hate deleted threads too, but this one didn't work as well as I thought. Next round will be a pot still with a homemade Graham condenser that should, in theory, produce shine just as high-quality as anything you've had before.

If you can ferment at lower temperature your yeast will produce better alcohol. This will reduce the amount congeners and create a smoother product. Higher fermentation temperatures will result in more fusels being formed.

I didn't click the link, but I'm sure you're right. But I'm going for cheap and simple. What I'm doing will produce what I consider to be some damn fine moonshine, if distilled carefully. I'm going off a slight bit of experience, advice from my family who has brewed shine for years and a little bit of reading, mostly on homedistiller.org.
Again, definitely read up on that site. It has everything you need to know. I'm just presenting what I know to work and produce something I'd be proud to share with my friends that doesn't cost a lot to start up.

Hey OP, you don't sprout/malt the corn?
But anyways, moonshine is the best . It's a shame the laws are so strict around it (unless you live in NZ). It's really not that dangerous.
I like do a lot of small gallon batches of mead/cider and I always save the sediment/failures. I ship it to my friend for distillation when I get 3 gallons worth . He just distilled the first shipment the other day and says it tastes like a mix of brandy and tequila.

Never tried. I don't really have the space for that anyway. Can't be sprouting corn in the yard with neighbors watching.

As of right now, no. Because I just bought everything brand new. But in the future, yeah, I'll be cleaning everything with bleach after each run.
And BTW, you sanitize in this. Not sterilize.
Added some new pics and some more text.
