Need help conical yeast dump

[Kontek]

Hi guys, after 10 days my galaxy ale is ready. I replaced the airlock with a co2 line (3psi) and begun dumping my yeast cake. I only got about 1 litre before beer came out (really dark) i would have thought there would be a lot more. I turned the valve really slowly and let it trickle out as to not punch a hole in the cake. Am i doing something wrong ?

Thanks

Nope not doing anything wrong, most the yeast will stick to the sides of the cone. I never harvest mine through the dump valve, I just get a couple of cup fulls and put each one in jar by itself.
