"This site has calculators to figure that many other things to boot! Great resource. Like you said it depends on many things % in the distillate and wash.

For exmple, with Turbo 24 you might expect 5 qts at 70%Ab.

"I still have not got the gage to check the mash, but will. I start with 5gal. wash and end up with aprox. 1/3 gal. plus of finished product 160 proof.

Before fermentation should be 0% With 24 Turbo about 14% 48 about 18%. I personally don't check the wash SG or abv, I've never had batch fail. Abv of the final stuff is what check.
