Maybe mash temp was low so you lack some unfermentable sugars
I think this was my problem. My temp was at 152, which was the target, when i mashed in. However, after about 10 minutes, i dropped down to 148, and after that i was at 145. I measured at different spots and it was low, so i added some boiling water to bring the temps up to 150. Had to do that twice. This was my biggest concern when i was brewing. I think i heated up my mash tun too quickly.

the malt bill is not setup for a malt backbone
Noticed this too.

ermentation temp was high which would lead to some odd yeast flavors.
No odd yeast flavors. I actually believe the yeast character was cleaner on this one, compared to my extract brews.

What are you mashing in? Really strange that it is dropping so quickly.
