high gravity, low yeild ????

Post by Pepper0715 »

so i am running a 12g apple mash. my starting gravity was .09-.095. or 20%ish abv.

im one gallon in and im already at 100 proof. first quart was 130 last quart was 100. it seems to be dropping 10proof each quart

based on those numbers i do not see me getting 20% or 2.5ish gallons? where have i went wrong? or am i being two literal in thinking i will get 2.5g? also i added a 12" column section which i packed full of copper mesh frroom top to bottom. should my proof not be higher? you see the last run, i did not have the 12" column section or copper mesh and my starting proof in that run was 145..
i thought copper mesh and a taller stack was suppose to increase proof?
