amount of mash to distillate ratio

Is there a standard formula or rule-of-thumb ratio for estimating how much distilled product that you will get from your mash...say for example you have five gallons of a corn mash...of that five gallons...how much distillate can you expect?

Going by the gravity, the hydrometer usually has a potential alcohol listed by the gravity reading or use an online calc to figure the alcohol potential for the gravity.
5 gallons of wash at 10% alcohol would be a half gallon of 100% alcohol, or 3/4 gallon run off at 75%.

Too many variables to give a precise answer... You get what you get... You'll learn how much your rig will produce from your wash through experience... I know what I get but that won't be what you get because we don't know the potential %ABV of your wash, what you are running for a still, how you'll run it, how you'll make cuts, etc...

Or, my usual answer to such a question, "How long is a piece of string?"...

Based on your post I would guess you will get one bottle.

Sometimes one bottle is all you need!
